I've deleted some files, but their content remains in the objects directory, and git annex unused does not list them.
I've read in this post http://git-annex.branchable.com/forum/git-annex_unused_not_dropping_deleted_files/ that if other branches contain the files, then it won't count them as unused. My repo appears to have a few branches left over from views I've used.
remotes/sdrive/views/(added=14_09);(tag=Shared)
remotes/sdrive/views/(added=14_09);Images_=_
remotes/sdrive/views/added=_
How can I delete these? Is git annex going to create a new branch for every new view I create?
I've figured it out:
In the annex in which the view was made (in my case sdrive), the views must be deleted with single-quotes:
In the connected annexes, for which sdrive is a remote, this command removes the remote branches:
After these steps git annex recognized old files as unused.
