Each time you launch a scan, the complete scan results are saved on the scan history list. At any time, you can delete one or more saved scans from this list. Once deleted, the saved scan results are no longer available on the scan history list and may not be selected for run time (manual) reports. Note however that deleting scan results does not delete any host scan data. This means that you can delete all scan results for a particular host and still access the host scan data for that host in reports that are based on Auto source selection. See Scan Results and Host Scan Data for more information.
Note that PCI scan results are automatically kept for 2 years from the scan launch date. If you select a PCI scan to delete and the scan is less than 2 years old, then a message appears notifying you that the scan cannot be deleted. PCI scan results may be deleted when older than 2 years. A PCI scan is any scan launched with the option profile "Payment Card Industry (PCI) Options".
Managers are allowed to delete saved scan results for any scan task, regardless of which user launched or scheduled the task. Unit Managers are allowed to delete the scan results for their own scan and scans launched or scheduled by other users. Scanners are only allowed to delete scan results for their own scans.
Optionally, specify storage options to automatically delete saved scan results after a set period of time. To do so, go to Setup > Storage.
