Hi Brandon,
There are a number of possible steps after a compaction - delete,
archive, compress-archive-delete.
This sounds like a natural thing to have but at the same time I'm a bit
wary of adding features one at a time because a feature is a commitment
to maintain and some other concern may mean a different approach would
have been better. Example: maybe different privileges for compact and
actually deleting data on disk.
With Fuseki/main (it currently does not have the admin functions of
Fuseki/webapp) we do have the scope to revisit administration.
I've opened a discussion JIRA
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-2087
for what a new set of administration features for Fuseki/main might
include. Hope you'll join in.
Andy
BTW:
Deleting will not work on MS Windows. There is a long standing Java
issue that memory mapped files do not get released until after the JVM
exits.

I would love it if we could have an automatic deletion option with the compact
task, otherwise, a good amount of work can end up being needed just to ensure
that a no longer needed `Data-****` folder is removed. Is this something that
the maintainers are willing to consider? If so, I’d be willing to help with the
implementation of it.
Thanks.
