Hello

im using this command :

splunk clean  kvstore  -app system -collection alerts_prod

im getting message that there is nothing to remove even though i see that there is

Check if this collection is part of any other app. If yes remove collection for that app. If this doesn't work you can remove kvstore collection alerts_prod, restart splunk and add it again.
