Just thought of a way to purge old data without escalations Create a new custom form "zzSystemCleanup". The form needs 2 character fields FormName and FormEntryID. Create a filter that fires on Submit/Merge that has 1 Run Process action Application-Delete-Entry "$FormName$" $FormEntryID$
This way all you need to do is to generate a list of Entry ID's for the form(s) you need to delete and use the Import tool to put them into your new custom form. Off the top of my head I think you could even make your custom form a DisplayOnly form so you don't need to clean it up afterwards. (I think you can import to a DisplayOnly form and have it fire workflow) By running Import only during off hours and with specific sizes of lists you can adjust the load to the server.

LJ, Yeah we also plan to do something similar but we need to let the system be free from the escalation at business hours. So may be we can break the data on a timeline and then run the escalation daily/weekly to migrate the data as well as delete it from the production in off business hours.
