```go
for hash, obj := range db.objectsByHash {
// current time - 3 hours
if time.Now().Add(-time.Hour * 3).After(obj.ExpiresTime) { // expired
// remove from counter map
counterMap := db.getCounter(obj.ObjectType)

for k, v := range counterMap.ByCounter { // go through each element
if v.IsEqual(&hash) { // we got a match, so delete
delete(counterMap.ByCounter, k)
break
}
}

// remove object from object map
delete(db.objectsByHash, hash)

// we removed this hash
removedHashes = append(removedHashes, &hash)
}
}
