Thank you Dmitriy! I am a bit surprised. I'd expect records for deleted resource to be cleaned up by some retention policy. Will need to make sure such clean-up to be taken care of by daily operation. BTW, is it mentioned in any doc? I probably missed it.

To clean up such records for cinder you can run command cinder-manage db purge <days to retain> For nova it's a bit more complicated as first you would archive these records and only then purge them from shadow tables. This is done with nova-manage command. You can check docs regarding it's usage: https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/cli/nova-manage.html#db-archive-deleted-rows вс, 24 апр. 2022 г., 6:04 Tony Liu <tonyliu0592 at hotmail.com<mailto:tonyliu0592 at hotmail.com>>: Hi, I see the record for deleted resource stay in database. What's the retention policy for those records? Is it configurable? Any manual cleanup is required? Thanks! Tony
