    Default Management tool to delete unused rvt & rfa files saved with journal files

    Summary: Management tool to delete unused rvt & rfa files saved with journal files

    Description: Backup files created on local user profiles consume so much space on our local computer.
    It seems with every rvt or rfa file opened a journal file and backup of the original rfa or rvt is saved locally.
    We understand this is useful incase errors occur. However, old files remain on the local drive forever unless you manually open the folder & delete.
    We found 90gb of data on one user profile recently. This, we expect, was causing sluggishness.
    Can autodesk create a tool to manage these files? Delete files which have not been opened for some time? It would basically act as a prompt for users to clean out their journal files & save space.
    What do you think Autodesk?

    Seriously sort this out. It's absurd.
