Manus expiration time: Time in days to keep Manus Administrator files. I.e. files older than ManusExpirationTime will be deleted when Manus Administrator is started. Default: empty (no clean up).

Manus keep file pattern: If ManusExpirationTime is given this property allows a list of file search patterns for files to keep in the Manus Administrator directory. I.e.
