I was asked a question by a colleague, is ECE is pruning the stale objects in our environment? My initial thoughts are that, yes, we can prune the stale objects if necessary but its a manual process. This would be done with the command, docker system prune [options], that I believe would take care of this issue.  
I'm basing my understanding off a recent case that we had and these docs.
