auto delete task logs
Need a way to auto delete tasks/logs based on available free space or age.

Yes. There should be a way to limit the size of tasklist, either based on timeframe or number of records. Navigation becomes slow as the list grows.

Delete more than 500 task items - up to date to delete - delete all from 01-01-2021 to "today" for instance. for completed tasks.

Delete ALL completed tasks except up to ZZZZ date. I have 2.67GB and am going SLOWLY through 500 items at a time. I'd like to delete delete all compelted tasks say up to last month or last week. This can free up space and I can ensure that I am not taking up too much space and slowing down when I want to get back to tasks and the system has to load ALL of the data.

Just to add my thoughts, this would be a very useful feature.
The UI only allows deleteing of existing completed tasks in sets of (at most) 500, and in a recent example in our production environment the upload process broke because the task log became corrupt. We had 46G of logs and (I think) 600K or so tasks.
Deleting these at a rate of 500 at a time would have been soul destroying.
So two suggestions:
> a simple one click 'purge / truncate / reset' button
AND/OR
> a'keep at most XXXX recent task results'Thanks!

On the "Tasks" tab at the bottom it is showing me "Sharegate uses 2.65 GB on Disk". Is that total Sharegate programs space? Or is that just the record of tasks? Is there a way to clean up the tasks automatically? Like remove tasks records older than a month?

In a migration there may be many days of incrementals being run and the tasks add up pretty quickly. It would be helpful if the number of retained tasks or the number of days to retain tasks could be included in the settings. In addition, it would be helpful to include a way to bulk delete tasks (more than 50 at a time).
