Description
How can it be after so much time that it is still not possible for you to clean up influxdb automatically
`1488 100% /var/lib/influxdb`
```
> SHOW RETENTION POLICIES ON collections
name duration shardGroupDuration replicaN default

autogen 3648h0m0s 168h0m0s 1 true
```
`DELETE WHERE time < '2022-04-25'`
`85784 73% /var/lib/influxdb`
PS. I am getting tired of resizing the disk because of this shit, so searched for the oldest files and just deleted these to free up space.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported retention behavior using the `SHOW RETENTION POLICIES ON collections` and `DELETE WHERE time < '2022-04-25'` commands. Compare the configured retention policy with the resulting disk usage and determine what would make old data expire automatically; done means retention cleanup works without manual deletion or repeated disk resizing.
