I am running python celery with MongoDB as a broker, as it stores the rest of my application data. (This is an experimental setup for celery, so I know I'm doing it wrong). I found that the celery compilation contains 20 million documents, which is just ridiculous. Therefore, I deleted any of the documents older than 7 days, but it still left me more than a million documents in the messages. Most of them have a celeryev.35159580-6c35-40cd-b75b-66eb8333963d like: celeryev.35159580-6c35-40cd-b75b-66eb8333963d . What is this queue for use and can it be safely removed?
