Hello,<br>
<br>
While digging in nova's database, I found that many objects ar not really deleted, but instead just marked deleted.<br>
In fact, it's a general behavior in other projects (cinder, glance...).<br>
<br>
I understand that. It can be handy.<br>
<br>
But, is there a way to handle regular purging of theses elements inside OpenStack configuration ?<br>
<br>
Or do we, operators, have to create batchs to purge all that ?<br>
<br>

I've found some blueprints indicating that there nothing for now, inside OpenStack :<br>
