On the DCP Console dashboard, click Cyber Resilience> Data Loss Prevention.
Under the All Devices tab, click the radio button for the appropriate device.

After you place auto-delete on hold for a device, you can remove the auto-delete hold status for a device. This means that the auto-delete feature is now applicable for the device.
