Garbage Collection

Garbage collection is a periodic action that cleans up tasks and big plans that arecompleted and otherwise lingering on in the system. It marks themas archived, which means they won't appear in various views, or countedin other processes like task generation. Butthey don't dissapear for ever, and will always be accessible.

It currently happens daily without any user intervention.

There is a log of all the runs, which shows you which entities werearchived too.

In the web app you can find reporting in the Garbage Collect left-hand side tab, under tools. It lookssomething like this:

You can trigger a manual by pressing the Garbage Collect button.

The CLI command is called gc and has the same capabilities as the Web App.

The command is idempotent, so you can run it however many times you want and it'll do the right thing.Furthermore it does not affect task status, or any extra edits on a particular instance of a task, besidesmarking some entities as archived.
