Datasets are not fully deleted and are using much disk space. There is a script in cron directory that might help this.

delete_userless_histories.sh purge_histories.sh purge_libraries.sh purge_folders.sh delete_datasets.sh purge_datasets.sh

I have the number of days set to 10. When I look at the reports webapp however, it reports that there are "62 datasets were deleted more than 15 days ago, but have not yet been purged, disk space: 12975717335." These have stuck around now for 45 days (and counting). "
