Old Storj directories - just curious

[stuberman]

This question is not about any concerns or problems, I am simply curious. I am a bit surprised that there are very old partial blobs from 2019 still in temp. I am running 1.5.2 on Ubuntu 18.04.

My storagenode HDD has three directories as follows:

• Garbage (empty)
• Trash (lots of nested directories that seem to be empty)
• Temp (lots of old small files)

Seems like Garbage is unused folder.
Trash - contains files that should have been deleted but were not deleted at the time. Files in this folder are deleted after 7 days.

Trash could contain old empty folders:

Question about TBh storage usage calculation

Because they don’t take up space and would likely have to be recreated again in the future anyway. There are only 1024 possible directories per satellite and if you have any reasonable amount of trash at all, all of them will see some use over time. It doesn’t make much sense to keep removing and adding them for no reason.

@Alexey and how about the old partial blobs in the temp folder? I get the empty directories… and frankly the old temp files from 2019 are not taking up much space.

I have no idea about these ones.
