There is an open issue to add docs: https://github.com/pulp/pulpcore/issues/1828

Basically what you have to do is remove the content from all repos (and their repo versions) and run:

pulp orphan cleanup

It should clean up any content/artifacts that are orphaned and older than ORPHAN_PROTECTION_TIME.

Hey David,
Thanks. how about the content/RPM i upload using command

pulp artifact upload --file
and
pulp rpm content create

I guess if you remove the RPM repo, the pulp orphan clean up would clean content associated with that repo, what happens to content/rpm/file/iso thats not been associated with any repo but needs to be cleaned?

Thanks,

The orphan cleanup removes content and artifacts so it should deleted the content/rpm/file/iso entry from the db and the actual file as well.

Cool, let us know how it goes.

Just be sure to lower ORPHAN_PROTECTION_TIME if this is relatively newly created content.
