Hi Vivek, Expunge delay - means after what time the VM will be qualified to be deleted. If you set this value to 604800 (7 days). This means the VM that is destroyed will be kept for no less than 7 days in cloudstack before being expunged.
Expunge interval - is responsible for how often the expunge procedure is run. If the value is set to 86400 (24 hours) it will check once every 24 if any VMs qualify for expunge process. If you combine the two examples above - every 24 hours expunge thread will launch and check if there are VMs in destroyed state longer than 7 days. VMs that qualify the filter will be expunged.

Let’s say if I set values 86400( 24 hours) in both settings. So When I destroy my VM today, it will get expunged after 24 hours as per the expunge.intervel. So what’s this expunge.delay ?
