In addition to the Expire Inventory mentioned by David:
We don't have the benefit of knowing what the output of the Select showed.
If the STATE value is ACTIVE_VERSION, then the file instance will sit there
indefinitely, until the file is either deleted from the client or excluded,
and an Incremental Backup is performed.
