The FhManagew.exe program deletes file versions that exceed a specified age from the currently assigned File History target device.

This program is available in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 and later.

To execute this program, go to the Start menu, click Run, and type the following command.

FhManagew.exe -cleanup age

Parameter Description
age
 This parameter specifies the minimum age, in days, of file versions that can be deleted. A file version is deleted if both of the following conditions are true:

If the age parameter is set to zero, all file versions are deleted, except for the newest version of each file that is currently present in the protection scope.

 

To suppress all output from this program, use the -quiet command-line option as follows.

FhManagew.exe -cleanup age -quiet
