MSMerge_tombstone cleanup

Hi to everybody.
Situation:
1) merge replica
2) Two publications with many subscribers (about 60 for each publication).
3) One subscriber has a monodirectional agent (data only from publisher to
subscriber)
4) In this subscriber I delete data older than one month
5) MSMerge_Tombstone of this subscriber is very huge (more than 10 million
of records)
How can I clean these data? Can I use 'DELETE FROM MSmerge_tombstone' in the
subscriber?
Thanks for your answers and help.
Marco
Marco,
sounds like sp_mergecleanupmetadata should fix this. Have a look in BOL.
