Scratch Space Purge Schedule Update: Changing to Daily Removals

Due to ongoing scratch space challenges and high utilization, the data purge frequency is changing from every Wednesday to daily. Files and data that have not been accessed for 60 days or more will be automatically removed from the system every day. Please ensure that you regularly back up or move any important data to your project or permanent storage directories to prevent unintended loss.
