Abandoned datasets -- retain metadata #3705

Closed ryscher closed 3 weeks ago

ryscher commented 1 month ago

When an abandoned dataset is removed, removing the metadata saves us very little in storage/processing costs, but there is quite a bit of hassle from authors who come back later and wonder what happened to their data.

Modify the task remove_abandoned_datasets to retain the metadata, and add a comment into the Activity Log explaining that the files were removed.
