# Setting Case Folder Configuration Limits

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please be advised, Case Folder's is independent to "Spaces" available in some of the cloud environments which have similar features.  There is no interaction between Case Folders and Spaces.
{% endhint %}

Users can save search results to a Case Folder. Once saved to a case folder, users can comment on emails and apply flags to emails. These saved search results are stored in a database. To help prevent this database from getting too large, there are a few limitations which can be set.

If a folder is deleted by the search user, it is not immediately deleted unless the “Delete Folder on Closure” administration option is selected. And the search user will be able to review each email, setting flags and comments. The Administrator can permanently delete the folder via the **Email Management > Folder** **Management** section.

The **Case Folder Limits** section allows Admins to set a limit on the usage of case folders and restrictions on the number of case folders for different types of users.

1. Navigate to **Adv Configuration** > **Case Folder Limits**.
2. Enter / Select the required values in the fields. Refer to the table below for field names and descriptions.
3. Click the **Save** button.
4. The case folder configuration settings will be updated successfully.
