All tasks list not, or barely clearing

(moderation:
It's not a big deal but have been noticing the following:
Ever since the upload problems of last month it seems that old tasks in the "all tasks list" are not, or barely clearing. My oldest file is now from Dec 15th. Earlier it was that about 5-7 days after all parties had completed a task the listing of a task would disappear from "all tasks".
Has anything changed so the time for clearing is extended?
Again, not important but just curious.

I think the problem primarily affects the "Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo)" tasks (those are the short ones sent to CPUs and intel_gpus, not the larger full GPU versions).
There has been a problem with these validating on some hosts. That had two effects:
1) Because tasks weren't validating, extra copies had to be sent out to complete the WU - that slows everything down.
2) Bernd turned off file deletion for a while, so that he could look at the returned data files when he had time and work out what was going wrong.
Bernd re-enabled file deletion on Monday, so the task list should start to reduce next week (WUs remain in the database for seven days before being purged at this project). He's working on the validation issues too, but I don't think they've been fully solved yet.
