Set the retention period for files in the local device control cache

This policy setting determines how long device control retains files for evidence in its local cache on the device. Device control keeps a file in its local cache only if it is unable to upload the file to a designated network share or Azure storage. By default, device control retains files in its local cache for 60 days.
