Yes, I had problems with that too so I run the sql command

delete from job
       where type in ('V', 'D')
             and starttime < now()-interval '2 months'

every week to remove them.

I think one problem is that Volume Retention doesn't remove them because they
are not associated with any particular volumes, so they hang around for much
longer than expected.
