So, I’ve built an http server for api requests that use badgerDB… I have an endpoint to call GC: /gc Which runs this code: func handleGC(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) { err := db.RunValueLogGC(0.7) if err != nil { fmt.Fprintf(w, err.Error()) …

GC won’t clean up if there’s only one value log file. In general, GC isn’t that aggressive, because disk is cheap.
