You can configure the location of the quarantine folder and how long to keep quarantined items.

Quarantined items can include various types of scanned objects, such as files, registries, or anything that Endpoint Security scans for malware. Threat Prevention cleans or deletes items that are detected as threats and saves copies in a non-executable format to the Quarantine folder.

You can delete quarantined items, restore or rescan them, or get more information about the threat. For example, you might be able to restore an item after downloading a later version of the content that contains information that cleans the threat.
