cleanup is for removing data from ranges the node no longer owns. It is unrelated to tombstones. There are various approaches to cleaning up tombstones. A simple (if manual) one is to use "checksstablegarbage" and user defined compaction. Even simpler is to run a major compaction, but this has some downsides. =Rob
