Automatically remove dead objects?

We are starting to use CommVault's VSA Backup, which creates transient VMs and datastores for backup and then removes them (simplified explanation)

All of the objects - VMs and datastores - get registered in vCops, but are not removed when the object is removed from vCenter.

Each time an object is created, it gets a new "identifier 2", so our database and object count grows quite a bit.

Each object has a name with "_backup".

And they are created / mounted on only one host.

Is there a way to automatically delete these objects on a scheduled basis?

Or is there a way to exclude objects created on one host?

I've seen where you can set a parameter in the controllers.properties file to "deleteNotExisting" for VMs (though, I'm not convinced that is working)

But I haven't seen anything similar for other objects.

Thanks
