Abstract
There is disclosed methods, systems and computer program products for purging stored data in a repository. Users attach relative importance to all data samples across all timeseries in a repository. The importance attached to a data sample is the ‘utility value’ of the data sample. An algorithm uses the utility of data samples and allocates the storage space of the repository in such a way that the total loss of information due to purging is minimized while preserving samples with a high utility value.
