In path_redirect (D6) all redirects are created with in the column "last_used" the time() of creation.
In redirect (D7) the column "access" contains a zero when created.
In both versions the columns mentioned are updated to the current time when accessed.
As far as I found out this means in D7 the redirect will never be deleted when it is never accessed. This is a change in functionality from D6.
I like to have an option in the D7 version to set the current time in the column "access" when a redirect is created, like in D6, so the redirect will be deleted after the set purge period has arrived.

rsjaffe commentedI ran into this issue too. I'm changing it from "feature request" to "bug". The UI allows you to set up deletion of redirects "not accessed for X months". A redirect that is set up 3 months ago and never accessed has not been accessed for 3 months and should be deleted if that is the time period selected.

promesI found a solution, at least for the creation date. See attached patch.

vacilando commentedWorks for us too; let's get this committed.

pere orgaI'm not sure that redirects should be created with an access date. It's more a fault of the delete functionality, although I agree that this may be an easy workaround, as we don't have a 'created' column which could be used.
In any case, the patch was not created properly, see Making a Drupal patch with Git
