Objects are not removed from local even when enabled "Delete local objects"

[prabhakaran8737]

In my case I am using Amazon s3 as external object and files are synced after running cron job. Now it is bit confusing whether files are from local or external object. I have enabled Delete local objects but still the size before sync and after sync are same.

Here is my object report

I would only expect 14mb to be locally. It will take some time for the local files to cleanup and be removed (it isn't instant)

@kisonay Problem exists since yesterday. You know how to cross check? Also in above screenshot "Only in External storage" is 0 still.

May I know the settings for this to happen?

If not instant is this related to CRON job timing which we schedule?

Have you regenerated a report?

The report is created by a nightly task \tool_objectfs\task\generate_status_report

So while change may have occured you don't have an up to date report

@aspark21 thank you for the response. Yes I have regenerated. This is my recent report, If you see Only in External storage is still 0

are you running cron on your site correctly? - or are you manually triggering events/cron when needed? This plugin requires multiple cron tasks to run multiple times overnight and with larger sites the process can take some time (days/weeks) as it tries to be kind to the API's and doesn't do everything all at once but slowly migrates the content and deletes the local data when ready.

@danmarsden I have few questions

1. Only after migrating everything, local data will be deleted?
2. In my server data directory is 148GB and in Amazon s3 also size is 148.1GB, So I assume everything is transferred.

This is my cronjob schedular in server, running for the past 3 days.

And in application

@danmarsden still files are removed from my the server. Cron are running regularly

not sure what else I can suggest sorry - it works for us - and we have this running in a massive number of sites...
