Still trying to understand how content is retained/purged from Katello. I tried the following on a test system running Katello Version: 1.3.30-1.el6:

- Created a custom repository

- Synced repo to the Library

- Did not promote the content

- Deleted the custom repository

The packages no longer show in the content search, yet they still exist in /var/lib/pulp. Only one repository was created on the system.

Thanks for your help
