Stop, Little Graphite

Q: I have stopped reporting some counters to graphite and removed folders/counters related to them. Why graphite recreates deleted folders/counters?
A: Most probably because some of your applications are still reporting removed counters. And graphite just doing what it suppose to do: storing them.
So, the first thing to do you should check that changes in your applications that prevent old counters from reporting have been deployed for real.
Go to instances/containers whith your application and check its source code.
