A fair number of files presumably?

We may be able to take some lessons from the existing Scanner implementation (and possibly even make some optimizations there as well while we're at it).

Work around:

for user in $(./occ user:list | grep -Po "(?<=\\s-\\s)[^:]+"); do
    ./occ files:sanitize --dry-run "$user"
done
