How to remove a workspace from the list generated by `ws_restore -l`?

If you use ws_restore -l to find expired workspaces, how can you remove one of those? Especially, I see some with the word unavailable. How to clean them?

Hi Jan (@s2817051--tu-dresden.de), can you please provide a example output w.r.t. "unavailable"?

I see something like this:

$ ws_restore -l
warm_archive:
scratch:
s2817051-taxi-dataset-1665014486
	unavailable since Thu Oct  6 02:01:26 2022
ssd:
s2817051-29840058-1666220407
	unavailable since Thu Oct 20 01:00:07 2022

ws_restore -l lists expired workspaces. Either, the workspace was moved to grace period at the end of its life time by the expirer process or the user invoked ws_release directly. The result is the same: the workpace and the DB entry are moved to hidden directory.

You cannot clean the workspace nor the DB file. But, you can remove the content of the workspace to reclaim quota. Is this, what you want?

I am not sure what to do with the output of ws_restore -l. I did not find anything similar in the wiki to the output I get. I simply wanted to remove it together with its data.

Jan (@s2817051--tu-dresden.de), can you please have a look at !725 (merged) Does this additional information help to understand the expiration process and the output of ws_restore -l?
