        nodetool garbagecollect - Remove deleted data from one or more tables

SYNOPSIS
        nodetool [(-h <host> | --host <host>)] [(-p <port> | --port <port>)]
                [(-pp | --print-port)] [(-pw <password> | --password <password>)]
                [(-pwf <passwordFilePath> | --password-file <passwordFilePath>)]
                [(-u <username> | --username <username>)] garbagecollect
                [(-g <granularity> | --granularity <granularity>)]
                [(-j <jobs> | --jobs <jobs>)] [--] [<keyspace> <tables>...]

OPTIONS
        -g <granularity>, --granularity <granularity>
            Granularity of garbage removal. ROW (default) removes deleted

        -j <jobs>, --jobs <jobs>
            Number of sstables to cleanup simultanously, set to 0 to use all
            available compaction threads. Defaults to 1 so that collections of

        -p <port>, --port <port>
            Remote jmx agent port number
