Have you checked the files on the server recently?

Not really, I think some of them are still unpurged.

That could cause some issues if we don't clear them out soon.

Root Explanation

Unpurged → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "purged" (from Latin "purgare", meaning to cleanse or purify). The word "unpurged" means not cleansed or not purified.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having been 'cleansed' ('purgare') — that's why unpurged means something that hasn't been cleansed.
