In Central Admin under Operations > Information management policy configuration > Expiration I unchecked the box "Automatically find and process expired items" but it seems like documents are still being deleted when their expiry date passes.
I can see many documents in the recycle bin deleted by "System Account" all around the same time. In the SharePoint logs I can also see errors for Area DLC Server and Category Information Policy Management at the same time. This makes me think expired items are being processed!
What could be causing these documents to be deleted? Shouldn't unchecking "Automatically find and process expired items" stop documents from being deleted?
