OpsCenter has a built-in feature where old messages are automatically archived and/or deleted after they reach a certain age. This is done to reduce the clutter of information on the screen as well as to help maintain a certain performance level. The settings for the auto-archive/delete feature of messages can be managed in the Preferences and are customizable for each user. The feature can be disabled entirely or the auto-archive/delete age of a message can be set. Even if this feature is disabled, messages can be manually deleted or archived by selecting the delete or archive option for the individual message. The age of a message is determined starting when it is created, however, unread messages and vacation requests that have not been responded to are not automatically deleted or archived.

There is a separate auto-archive/delete feature that applies to system items including all schedule items and bulletin board posts. The settings for the system auto-archive/delete can be managed in the System Controls.
