# Clean up quality assessment history

If you run quality assessment projects, the quality assessment history is stored.

You can clean up the quality assessment history once or in recurring mode. For example, you want to keep quality assessment history records for one month. Each week, you can do a cleanup, deleting history records older than one month. The steps of this topic explain how to clean up the quality assessment history.

### Steps

1. Go to **Data quality studio** > **Periodic tasks** > **Clean-up logs**.
2. Define the number of days for which you want to keep the quality assessment history records. All history records that are older than the defined number of days are deleted.

In the **Validation logs retention(Days)** field, enter a number.
3. In the **Select log type** field, select '**Quality assessment**'.
