 * How often are removed expired files, in my admin panel say:
 * > Expired files are files older than 3600 seconds. They are still used by the
   > plugin and are deleted periodicall
 * I watch 24 hours and expired files are still on server, how i edit time to delete
   expired files?

 * Hm, same at my place. Expired files are more that 24 hours old (with default 
   expiry and garbage settings). Am I supposed to delete them manually?

 * I had this problem. I turned on email notfications and got this:
 * >  The WP Super Cache Garbage Collector has now run, deleting 0 files and directories.
   > …
   > The following warnings were generated by the WP Super Cache Garbage Collector:
   > Cache expiry cron job failed. Job will run again in 10 seconds.
 * Then I saw that I had preload mode set to “on” but “custom_preload_interval” 
   was set to 0 (as in zero seconds, or turned off). I turned preload mode off (
   unchecked the box) and files stated to get deleted again. Now the notification
   mails look like this:
 * >  The WP Super Cache Garbage Collector has now run, deleting 174 files and directories.
 * A better handling of this would be nice. Like the first mail telling me it did
   not delete anything because of the preload settings.
