Anubhav Kale commented on CASSANDRA-10960:
------------------------------------------
This is not about manually deleting old backup folders (that's okay). This is
about C* not deleting the files from backups when those were deleted as part of
compaction. Why is that by design -- can you please elaborate ?
> Compaction should delete old files from incremental backups folder

> Key: CASSANDRA-10960
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10960
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Compaction
> Environment: PROD
> Reporter: Anubhav Kale
> Priority: Minor
>
> When compaction runs the old flushed SS Tables from backups folder are not
> deleted. If folks need to move the backups folder somewhere outside the
> cluster, recovery becomes slower because unnecessary files need to be copied
> back.
> Is this behavior by design ?
