delete or rotate them (see next question).
The I<db.sqlite3> file can also grow quite large in certain situations. If you
modify or rename a lot of files in your share and ncdc re-hashes them, the old
hash data associated with the files is not removed from the database, resulting
in wasted disk space. The C</gc> command in ncdc can be used to clean up this
unused data. Be warned, however, that this command needs roughly twice the size
of the old db.sqlite3 file for temporary storage, so make sure you have enough
space available. (Note that this behaviour is not specific to ncdc, most other
DC clients do the same.)
