OneFS API Feature Request

Question

I query the OneFS API to take a daily backup of cluster configuration, but how do I delete these?I want to delete the cluster configuration backups because scheduling these on a daily basis they build up significantly with unnecessary backups. Page 133 of the PowerScale OneFS API Reference 9.2.1.0 guide, describes how to take a backup of the configuration, and then how to list the configurations you can retrieve. I would really a method to remove these configurations once they have been stored, such that they no longer report in the API. Once these are pulled into our management systems, I can then delete the created files/directory but the API (at least for OneFS 9.2.1) doesn’t seem to self-trim when these directories are removed, and there is no API call to prune the list down. Can this be raised as a bug/feature-request please, so that only backups that continue to exist are listed?
