Instance Scan offers table
cleanup policies to erase previous scan results.  
The cleanup policies are based on the time that the scans are created. The timer starts when you run a scan. Table Cleanup is run against the Auto Flushes \[sys_auto_flush\] table and cleans up the previous scan results.

* If the result records are older than 90 days (7,776,000 seconds), the first policy clears all scan result records and related records.
* If the following conditions are true, the second policy deletes all scan result records and related records.
  * The Scan type is Test Scan.
  * The records are older than 14 days, and Age in seconds is equal to or greater than 1,209,600 seconds.
