Wow... that's what I call a straight maintainance!

yes it's to empty catalog

That's not what maintenance means in English. It only means continuing an existing state. Computer programs only use the word to mean things like removing internal files they no longer need and which don't affect their function. No program uses "maintenance" to mean deleting data intentionally created by the user. They call it "deleting". You can use "maintenance" to mean fixing a broken toilet. You can't use it to mean removing all the bathroom fixtures and renovating the room into a closet.
