Files for yoyo-app-type123 version 4.56 should be deleted when client gets assigned work for yoyo-app-type123 version 4.57 (or any higher version-number), and there's no work left on client for yoyo-app-type123 version 4.56. If user never gets assigned any more work for yoyo-app-type123, he'll keep the verion 4.56-files, even project currently uses verion 7.89 or something... Since applications can have multiple files, there one or more of the files is the same across application-versions, adding something like: "Didn't get work for yoyo-app-type123, but server still says current app-version is v4.57" => client deletes_all_files for yoyo-app-type123. would be a bad idea... Still, adding a mechanism that will remove any yoyo-app-type123 files when project has stopped using yoyo-app-type123 at all would be a good idea, since otherwise the files will indefinitely be left on client. -- "I make so many mistakes.
