You are correct that autoprune doesn't get rid of Verify jobs.
What is the Level of your Verify jobs? I run VolumeToCatalog Verify jobs but
they never have any files listed by "list files jobid=<jobid>" (just the job
record itself) so I don't understand your comment below.
I work around the autoprune issue by running this SQL command via an Admin
job:
delete from job where (type in ('V', 'D')
or (type = 'B' and jobbytes = 0 and jobfiles = 0))
and starttime < now()-interval '2 months';
It also deletes old Admin jobs and old jobs with no contents.
