· 6 min read

The clean way to handle them is a custom console command you can run by hand, plus the scheduler to run it automatically. In this tutorial we'll build one end to end and wire it up the right way.
By the end you'll have a data:prune command — with options, a dry-run mode, and
friendly output — running every night in production, safely.
