SharePoint 2013 - Site Closure & Deletion not working

Question

In our project, there is a policy to define deletion of site collection after a couple month.

But when the date for deletion has passed the site collection is still exist. I checked job definitions and there is a job which name is Dead Site Delete. Do you think that this job is related to site deletion with policy? Do you have any idea what could be the possible reasons?

Answer 1

"Dead Site Delete" job is responsible for the deleting the site collections which full fill the required criteria (which you mentioned in your policy).

The only problem with this job is, Default schedule is run weekly, so you may need to wait for 6 more days. If Policy's deletion date is on Monday then on next Sunday when Timer job run it will delete the site.
