Description
Could node cli on upgrade clean up data, which is known to be deprecated for long time. We have node machines which are pretty old. We see on some of them mysql-data but these days there is no MySQL / MariaDB databases running on SKALE nodes, as far as I can see. This is request is from the point of view of skale backups which we see are bigger on older machines, which contain data which we are pretty confident are unused today.
I can send you privately example list of directories from our nodes if you would like real life examples, what is on our nodes.
