That notice now adds that your copy is kept there for at least your cleanup period, names the `cleanupPeriodDays` setting that controls it, and gives the default number of days.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe moved copies are not kept forever. The notice now tells you they are eventually cleaned up and which setting decides when.\n\n- Area: Cloud Sync\n- Names: `cleanupPeriodDays`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
