# Server cleanup

One schedule for the whole instance reclaims disk on every server: build cache, dangling images, orphaned caches, old app images and leftover app directories. Individual hosts opt out, so a server added tomorrow is never silently unswept.

## What it never does

It never prunes volumes or server folders, and the number of images kept per app is the same number that decides how far back you can roll back.
