We use a scheduled task that runs a Ruby program to delete our local repository
if it is older than a week. You could manipulate this to only delete
snapshots, but I prefer to get everything fresh to make sure our internal
mirror is working correctly. The full version of this program (not included)
also does nifty chores such as defragging and updating Subversion directories.
If you're interested in more admin tasks with Ruby I suggest:

Here's the Ruby code snippet to blast the maven repository:
#Delete the local maven repository if it is older than a week
m2_repo = "c:\\path\\to\\your\\maven\\repo"
if File.exists?(m2_repo)
one_week_in_seconds = 604800
dir_age = start - File.ctime(m2_repo)
if (dir_age > one_week_in_seconds)
puts "#{m2_repo} was created #{dir_age} seconds ago."
puts "Deleting #{m2_repo}"
FileUtils.rm_rf(m2_repo)
puts "Finished deleting #{m2_repo}"
else
puts "Skipped deleting #{m2_repo} it's only #{dir_age} seconds
old"
end
"No directory #{m2_repo}"
end

same here, interested in any updates on the plugin from the discussion
below. Don't want to whip out another one
if it already exists.
Thanks,

I saw an interested thread on mojo-dev about a local repository purge
plugin.
