    Use case 3: Data protected with a PureDisk client and stored on a PureDisk Storage Pool.
    1. The data removal policies, which run at a user's scheduled time, automatically dereference the affected files in the MetaBase Engine (catalog) and add the necessary expiration transactions in the Content Router (CR) queue for removal.
    2. Transactions in the queue are processed by the Queue Processing Policy, and the corresponding data pointers are dereferenced from storage. The schedule of the Queue Processing is 2 times a day by default; it can be changed from the PureDisk WebUI.
    3. On a monthly basis a CR garbage collection policy runs automatically to clean up any orphaned data, which can occur in certain edge cases. If you have very short retention policies (retention of less than 5 days), then it is useful to schedule CR Garbage Collection more frequently (once or twice a week).
