It's not true that uploaded packages are stored permanently.  The
version may never be reused, but once a package has been removed or
superseded it'll be garbage-collected shortly afterwards and no longer
counted against your quota.

The garbage-collection isn't immediate - part of it is in a cron job
that runs every six hours - so you may not notice the effects straight
away.

There's no need to explicitly remove old versions; that happens by
virtue of uploading a package with the same name and a newer version to
the same series.

[Launchpad-users] How to save storage

2018-11-07 Thread Rafael Muñoz Salinas

Hi all,

I have the following problem. The package I want to upload has a binary 
file (images and more), that I want to be distributed along with the 
package. However, each .tar.gz source file uploaded is then 100Mb.



I have tried to remove old versions in order to upload new ones, but 
apparently the packages uploaded are permanently kept in server. Am I 
missing something? Is to possible to permanently remove a package?
