Is there a garbage cleanup log? I can see garbage/trash files get deleted but was wondering where that was done and if there was a log of the command being performed. kinda difficult to sort through a storagenode.log database that’s now over 500MB in size and not know what to look for, or if it was somewhere else.

No, the logging is currently misleading. First we move the pieces into a trash folder and 7 days later we delete it without any additional log messages.
