Have a look at "moin ... maint cleanpage" script command. It has a rather safe classifier and outputs a shell script that moves pagedirs from the data directory to "trash/" and "deleted/" directories. Create those dirs, review the script and fire it up. The trash detection makes very sure that there is really just trash. The deleted pages maybe should be kept for a while (maybe use delete-<date>.tar.gz), just in case someone misses something and just wanted to revert it from deleted status. Stop wiki engine before and restart it afterwards. > I suspect these are the remnants of a page deletion. Is it safe to simply > delete them?
