Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computer system for determining, by a computing device, that an object of a plurality of objects is an orphan. It may be determined that the object is older than a threshold age. A capacity occupied by the object may be reclaimed based upon, at least in part, determining that the object is an orphan and determining that the object is older than the threshold age.
