Tidying All Locations

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. You can run the tidy store command to remove obsolete copies.

Use the following command: tidy store NAME;

You can change the system behavior going forward such that all future file deletions occur at all locations using the set system tidy on command. Since this command changes future behavior and does not clean up existing stores, you should then sync all stores, so all files are updated, and then tidy so obsolete files are removed at all locations. 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.
