<div class="moz-cite-prefix">This cleanup is now complete. We freed
the following resources:<br>
<br>
27 projects (12.5% of total projects)<br>
49 instances (7% of all instances labs-wide)<br>
87 virtual CPUs (5% of all used)<br>
172.5 GiB of allocated RAM (5% of all allocated RAM)<br>
<br>
In addition to the things that I removed according to the formal
process, many other instances were voluntarily cleared from active
projects as a result of my prompting, so the actual savings are
quite a bit larger than the numbers reported above.<br>
<br>
Thanks for everyone's help and patience with this process! The
Labs team will probably institute a formal, recurring (most likely
annual) reclamation process like this one to prevent the future
backlog from getting so big. I welcome your comments, both
positive and negative, about how this went.<br>

It's a month later, and I'm going to start deleting instances in
unclaimed projects. Here is the list of projects subject to
deletion:<br>

I've emailed the admins of each of these projects directly.
If I don't hear anything I will start to shut down instances
on Thursday.<br>
<br>
<br>
Many thanks to the vast majority of admins who provided me
with prompt and useful feedback about project preservation
and cleanup!<br>
