Did anyone find a solution to that? I'm on DSpace 9.x and I am also finding that expunge and dspace cleanup does not blow away contents in the assetstore as I thought it would. There are still many many bitstreams in there.
I had thought that expunge plus running the command line dspace cleanup, plus forcing a reindex would eliminate everything in the assetstore, but it doesn't. What is the expected functionality here? What is the proper way to completely clean out bitstreams that should be gone?
