   Hi folks.  I'm seeing quite a few .css files, thousands of them totaling 600+MB, building up in /var/lib/mailman3/web/static/CACHE/css. Some of them date back to when I set up the mm3 instance a few years ago.

   Is this expected, or am I missing a cron job or something to clean them up?

This is not expected. I don't see it on the instances I manage.

In the static directory, I see

$ du -h -d 1
1.7M    ./admin
12K    ./facebook
68K    ./django_extensions
4.0K    ./browserid
68K    ./django-mailman3
2.6M    ./postorius
12K    ./paintstore
1.6M    ./rest_framework
5.2M    ./hyperkitty
404K    ./CACHE
12M    .
$ find -type f|wc
    401     401   18253

I think when you run the Django admin collectstatic command, you need to specify the --clear option.

Interesting, I know nothing of that command. Is that something that should be run periodically?

         Thanks,
