I am not 100% sure but think if you delete a file from the client itself
it will be deleted without having to run expiration.

Subject: [ADSM-L] expire question

If a file is bound to a mgmt class like below, and you never ran expire
inventory

can the number of retain extra versions be greater then 2



It's the expire inventory that actually deletes them right and not the
client backup
