Hi Ben, The cleanup should happen on startup if the usage exceeds 50% and run regularly. You may even see warnings that NiFi is applying backpressure while waiting for archiving to free up space.
If archiving doesn’t free up space, you may have the situation that content files are being kept because one small file is still in a queue somewhere. Look for connections that have old flowfiles in them. If you inspect a flowfile in the queue you can see the filesize on the left, but also the content claim on the right. If that size is much bigger, it means your (old) flowfile is keeping that entire content claim file active. If this is the case, you’ll have to process or delete the flowfiles.
