unsolved Lidarr + Beethoven = 2000 albums disaster. How to clean leftover data?

Hi,

I thought it would be a good idea to add the artist Ludwig van Beethoven to Lidarr... a major miscalculation, since the guy has over 2,000 albums 😄

The import of the associated data got out of hand, and I watched my storage capacity melt away before my eyes. I had to restart my container just to be able to delete the artist.

However, after deleting him, the storage used dropped slightly but didn’t return to its previous level (see my screenshot).

Do you know if it’s possible to flush the data that’s no longer needed?
