vcsa backup vum.gz huge

I am performing a vcsa backup from VAMI.

The whole backup is huge, we have a large env, but when the backup is complete I notice the vum.gz is the largest file. (12+GB of 15GB total)

I have unpacked vum.tg and there is a folder for each version of esx (going back to 4.1).  most are smaller, but one is vib20 and 9GB in 41 files. the vmware_bootbank_esx_base_v## is taking all the space.

when I browse to this folder on my vum server, there are only 17 files.

is there a way to reset whatever is making this folder up on the vcsa side so it refreshes to only see the 17 files.

Thanks,

GB
