SYSTEM Center 2012 Configuration Manager might AUTOMATICALLY REMOVE expired and superseded software updates.

Consider the following scenarios:

• Expired software updates that are not associated with a deployment are automatically removed up every 7 days by a site maintenance task.
• Expired software updates that are associated with a deployment are not automatically removed by the site maintenance task.
• Superseded software updates that you have configured not to expire for a specified period of time are not removed or deleted by the site maintenance task.

You can remove expired software updates from all software update groups and software update deployments so that they are automatically removed. To do this, search for expired software updates, select the returned results, choose edit membership, and remove the expired software updates from any software update group for which they are members.
