We use purge here with out much of a problem. Though I will caution
that if you have a large database that you have not ever purged before
(when we initially did it we had 3 years of data accrued and we purged
down to 6 months), you should do it in stages. So do maybe a few months
at a time to walk it up to the level you need. You can also have the
purge archive to disk which can be handy if you want to maintain
historical info. The purge itself runs monthly at midnight on the 1st
of the month.

Hello Dr. Loris,
I will go through the document and will try to work on it. I'll reply
you on the same as soon as I work on this.
Thanks for the example.

I'm not sure about that, but if, for example, you write
PurgeJobAfter=6
in your slurmdb.conf, all database entries referring to jobs which are
older than 6 months will be deleted at the beginning of each month.
Disclaimer: I haven't used these settings - I am repeating what it
says in the documentation.
Cheers,
Loris
