Description Amit Upadhye 2016-12-13 14:01:45 UTC
Description of problem:

Disabling kickstart repos and deleting their respective installation media and OS within Satellite WEB UI did not clean up initrd.img and vmlinuz files from /var/lib/tftpboot/boot directory. This should be cleaned automatically ?

Each time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable kickstart repositories, delete installation media and Operating System from Satellite.
2. Can see that initrd.img and vmlinuz files form /var/lib/tftpboot/boot directory not deleted.

I'm closing and WONTFIX for now, as it would be very complicated to achieve with the current implementation. Please re-open if you believe there is serious reason for reconsidering this, that I might be missing at the moment.
