# File Truncate

Determines whether the EMS server will occasionally attempt to truncate the store file, relinquishing unused disk space.

When this property is enabled, the store file may be truncated, but not below the size set in File Minimum.

When this property is not set, the default is true, and the server will periodically attempt to truncate the store file.

## Classic Configuration

Set the file truncation behavior using the file_truncate property in the stores.conf file:

    file_truncate=value

For details on the syntax of stores.conf, see File-Based Store Settings.

## Administration Tool

Stores cannot be created or modified using the administration tool.
