Hi Travis,
Wanting to provide a 10 minute (or longer) recovery time is exactly
why I'm looking for some way to force an expunge remotely on demand.
The problem with providing a long recovery time is that a user cannot
deploy a new VM with the same hostname (or IP address) until the old
one is expunged. Thus the desire to be able to say "No I really don't
want to recover the old one, get rid of it so I can make a new one."
It seems like an expungeDestroyedVirtualMachine API call might be in order?

Hey David,
As far as I understand it, there is no way to immediately expunge a
deleted VM easily. By design there's a minimum 10 minute window to
allow the recovery of a VM once it has been deleted.
If you wanted to remove all references from the database and manually
remove the associated files on your primary and secondary storage,
there's nothing stopping you from doing that, but you'd probably be
best to set your expunge.delay and expunge.interval to 600 and let
the system do the heavy lifting.

Hey everybody,
Quick question; there is no API call for it, but does anybody know
of a way to force an expunge to run remotely? Ideally on a specific vmid.
Thanks!
