Hi @seth-shi, as explained in the Task Retention and Result, you can use asynq.Retention to choose low long a task should be kept in the recent history, to avoid having that happen.

For getting rid of the data already in there you can use some of the options on https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/hibiken/asynq#Inspector or you could stop enqueing new tasks, finish everything, clear your redis and then start up again
