Based on the guide, NoSQL will create a "challengeInstance", "playerMessage" and other system collections after I've made/accept a friend request. Hence, if I've made/accepts 10 friend requests, the "challengeInstance" system collection will keep 10 records.
Since this record will keep accumulating over time, is it good/normal? From what I've researched I know that system collections are read-only and not read/write?
Is there any solution so I could somehow auto-remove the record, after accepting/denying a friend request. I tried to code in cloud code to manually remove the system collections. Eg: var playerMsg = Spark.systemCollection("playerMessage");. playerMsg.remove(seen:true}. But if i manually remove it in NoSQL, it works. But do I have to do this all the time if I want to keep maintenance for my game in future?

Hi Shiwen,
No there is no way to remove this System Collection data using Cloud Code currently. Manually deleting it is not a supported method so i wouldn't recommend doing this. It's absolutely fine for these collections to accumulate this amount of data, that's what they are there for so you won't have to worry about them getting too big over time, you can just leave them as they are.
