Review Comment:
   > Yes, the existing remove orphan files can clean those left over files, but 
it is very expensive, especially for S3.
   
   Ack. I think instead of separate action, copy table action should atomically 
clean up its orphan files also. This way it will be less confusing for users 
and one less action to remember. Lets see what others think.
