How to Clear dbo.auditdata table from your SharePoint Content database table Do NOT do this on a production server directly. Try to run in Development environment. Run Powershell : Run the command Get-SPUsageDefinition  It will shows all the things that are retained, and for how long.   Change retention days 3  from 14 by using following PowerShell command: Get-SPUsageDefinition  | ForEach-Object { Set-SPUsageDefinition $_ –DaysRetained 3} The next time the Usage Log File timer jobs run it’ll clean out everything more than 3 days old. If we want to manually trigger those jobs we can use this PowerShell: Get-SPTimerJob | Where-Object { $_.title -like "*usage data*" } | Start-SPTimerJob It will take some time to clear the Audit data table. Another way: Below is the script to delete records for particular site: Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue $site = Get-SPSite -Identity "Your Site" $date = Get-Date $date = $date.AddDays(-3) #Delete Audit logs $site.Audit.DeleteEntries($date)
