When files expire, access is disabled immediately, but the files and metadata will persist on disk until someone attempts to access them.
If you'd like to automatically clean up files that have expired, you can use the included linx-cleanup utility. To run it automatically, use a cronjob or similar type
of scheduled task.
You should be careful to ensure that only one instance of linx-cleanup runs at
a time to avoid unexpected behavior. It does not implement any type of locking.
