Lots of Tar Mk files.

I started a project back in October and now have a serious number of tar mk  files.  Is there anyway that I can delete some of them?  Compression seems to work, but even still, the fact that there are about a hundred of them is really eating up space.

We can fix these kind of by doing below administrative activities periodically.

(i)TAR Optimizer

(ii)Consitency Checker

(iii)Garbage Collector

All these can be run manually from Felix console.

Thanks,

As I said, it appears compression is working.  I just have over 80 files since October that are over 200,000KB or more.  That seems excessive to me.

I've just installed a fresh version of AEM and installed all the updated and everything up to including service pack 2.  I'm using oak 1..0.11 and each time I try compacting, the job just keeps running and running; creating a tar file about 258,000KB about every 7-9 minutes.  There is clearly something wrong.
