The redis store will contain key-value pairs long after they are no longer needed.
These keys take the form celery-task-meta-<id> ("celery-task-meta" is the default key prefix) and are representative of results that can be instantiated (and deleted) via e.g.:
from celery.result import AsyncResult
res = AsyncResult("b79a674c-f306-4486-b291-bfdb5a85673f")
res.forget()
Ideally these are removed intelligently when no longer needed instead of being subject to autoexpiry rules.
Additionally, instead of removing results, we can avoid creating them when they're not needed by passing ignore_result=True to task config (e.g. decorator).
