The deleting is done overnight.. The value for 'Delete Employees who are made leavers/inactive for more than' is the days past since employee was made leaver/inactive. If it's 1, then when the service executes overnight, employees that were made leaver/inactive before current date, i.e. 1 day will be deleted '0' is a valid value too, in which case if you set a person as inactive/leaver today, they will be deleted next time service runs at night after 00:00
NOTE 1: You can of course just leave them as Inactive and so keep the data for them but not see them in the main screen until you select 'Show Inactive' as in step 5.
NOTE 2: If you don't want future persons to be deleted when they are set as a leaver/inactive then make sure to turn the setting off that was set in step 6
