[Spacewalk-list] What happens during package removal

[Rohn Wood]

I have a test spacewalk server that we use to better understand how spacewalk works.  We recently decided to clean out all the packages with channels, then delete the channels, then delete the repos.  After doing all of this, we noticed that the allocated disk space did not change at all.  We ran an "ls -lR /var/satellite" and still see packages in the directory hierarchy (36,000 of them).  

So does a package removal actually delete the on disk copies of packages?

Thanks!

Rohn
