Delete all empty license plate headers

Data Administration can be used to delete license plate headers when they become irrelevant over time. The administrator runs the retention policy if they want Business Central to delete outdated data in tables that contain log entries and archived records. When the retention policy is run, all license plates that are empty and haven’t been modified for six months or more, will be deleted.
