Tnx Gregory, Doesn't sound too safe then. Only reason to discover these orphans via scanning would be to delete the files again and I know all these files were at least one year old... so, I wonder if I could somehow do something like: 1) do forward scrub with a custom tag 2) iterate over all the objects in the pool and delete all objects without the tag and older than one year Is there any tooling to do such an operation? Any risks or flawed logic there? ...or any other ways to discover and get rid of these objects?
