System Tidy

In replicated environments, when a user deletes a file checked into an object (via checkin overwrite or file delete), by default all other locations within that store maintain their copies of the now obsolete file. The file is deleted only when the administrator runs the tidy store command.

You can change the system behavior going forward so that all future file deletions occur at all locations using:

set system tidy on;

Since this command changes future behavior and does not clean up existing stores, you should then sync all stores, so all files are updated. Once done, the system will remain updated and tidy, until and unless system tidy is turned off.

Running with system tidy turned on may impact the performance of the delete file operation, depending on the number of locations and network performance at the time of the file deletion.
