Tidy Store: GET /filestore/http/tidystore

The tidy store method tidies the file store by removing orphaned files and empty directories. This method may be invoked periodically by a cronjob, preferably at times when the file store is unlikely to be receiving concurrent requests.

Files are considered orphaned if they exist on disk but do not have a corresponding file record.

Due to the asynchronous nature of directory deletions a parent directory cannot be deleted when deleting the last file in a storage directory (eg <root>/1/2/f/<uuid>.ext). This method deletes any of the 4096 possible empty directories. Note that the deletion of empty directories is potentially unsafe at a very low chance if concurrent requests are being made to the file store at the same time.

Request Parameters

None.
