Hello, After create flavors, images, networks and launch instances with openstack commands, I need to "soft delete VMs and entries", but I am not sure what "soft delete" means. Does it means VMs and other entries should be deleted with openstack commands too? ( $openstack server delete vm-1) If not what is the mechanism to 'soft-delete' entries? After create and soft delete several instances I need to purge meta data table of soft delete instances (instances_metadata, instance_system, instance_info_cache, etc). Do you know what is the mechanism or commands to purge data bases to avoid size over? If this is an automatically action when delete entries, how can I validate it is actually happening? I will really appreciate your help! Regards. Juan Carlos Alonso
