A few useful answers

Will cleanup make the text searchable?

No. Cleaned pages are stored as images. Run OCR on the result when you need searchable, selectable text.

What can the straightening option fix?

Deskew corrects small tilts of up to about seven degrees. Review the preview, especially faint text, diagrams and content close to page edges.

When are my files deleted?

Your task shows the exact expiry time. Files are removed automatically after expiry, or you can use “Delete now” to remove them sooner.
