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

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