dotMemory Options in Visual Studio

Auto-delete workspaces that were not opened in last

Deletes temporary workspaces that you have not opened for the specified number of days. Workspaces marked as favorites are excluded when the value is greater than zero. Set the value to 0 to delete all temporary workspaces on exit, including favorites. This option is disabled by default; the initial threshold is 30 days.

Auto-delete the oldest workspaces so that the storage size never exceeds

Limits temporary workspace storage to the specified size in GB. When the limit is exceeded, cleanup deletes workspaces in order of last access, starting with those you have not opened for the longest time. Favorites are excluded when the limit is greater than zero, so they can prevent cleanup from reaching the limit. Set the value to 0 to delete all temporary workspaces on exit, including favorites. This option is disabled by default; the initial limit is 100 GB.
