information management policy not working sharepoint custom list

Following things must happen after above policy was set and before your documents are moved to recycle Bin:

  • Information management policy completed successfully
  • Expiration Policy completed successfully.

Both jobs are by default scheduled to run on a "Weekly" basis.

To Quickly test whether it is working (or any change in policy you made), perform following actions for above jobs in order in which mentioned above:

Go to Central Admin > Monitoring > Review Job Definition. Filter the list by your Web Application

Locate the job and select Run Now

Monitor the job history and make sure the job was run successfully on your web application

You might have figured out now, first jobs calculates the expiry date for the documents based on the policy. The second job actually deletes the documents marked to be deleted by the first job.
