Re: Cleaning up CephFS pool

Deleting files on CephFS doesn't instantaneously remove the underlying
objects because they could still be in use by other clients, and
removal takes time proportional to the size of the file. Instead the
MDS queues it up to be removed asynchronously. You should see the
number of objects counter going down over time.
