Compared to unfinished uploads which are handled by the system, managing expired uploads can be a necessity as those files can pile up, blocking storage resources and need to be removed by command regularly. See the Manage Unfinished Uploads section at the Storage Users service for details.

This command is about purging old trash-bin items of project spaces (spaces that have been created manually) and personal spaces. See the CLI Commands section at the Storage Users service for details.

In rare circumstances, it can be necessary to initiate indexing manually for a given space a user has access to or all spaces. Though the search service handles exception cases automatically, it can happen that the search service was not able to complete indexing due to a dirty shut-down of the service or because of a bug. Re-indexing should only be run on explicit request and supervision by ownCloud support. See the Manually Trigger Re-Indexing Spaces section at the Search service for details.
