Hi everyone,
Our Salesforce Data Cloud storage (1 TB) has reached 135% usage, with the Behavioral Events DLO containing ~12M records from the Mobile SDK. We’re activating most of this data to AWS.
Wanted to understand:
- What are the best ways to reduce storage usage in Data Cloud?
- Can retention policies be applied on DLOs/DMOs?
- What retention strategy is recommended for Behavioral Events?
Would appreciate any best practices. Thanks!

- Yes, apply retention at the DLO level.
- No clear public equivalent appears to exist today for a simple DMO retention setting.
- For Behavioral Events, keep raw data in Data Cloud only as long as it serves a real-time or short-horizon use case, then archive to AWS and purge from the DLO.
