Re: WAL-files is not removing authomaticaly

So, right now I have configuration of replication slots:

On master:
postgres=# select * from pg_replication_slots ;
slot_name | plugin | slot_type | datoid | database | temporary |
active | active_pid | xmin | catalog_xmin | restart_lsn |
confirmed_flush_lsn
------------------+--------+-----------+--------+----------+-----------+--------+------------+------+--------------+--------------+---------------------
stanby_slot | | physical | | | f | t
| 94341 | | | 145/FBAACBA8 |
(1 row)

On slave:
postgres=# select * from pg_replication_slots ;
slot_name | plugin | slot_type | datoid | database | temporary |
active | active_pid | xmin | catalog_xmin | restart_lsn |
confirmed_flush_lsn
------------------+--------+-----------+--------+----------+-----------+--------+------------+------+--------------+--------------+---------------------
stanby_slot | | physical | | | f | f
| | | | 13E/981E2DD0 |
(1 row)

And I can do 'select pg_drop_replication_slot('stanby_slot');' on slave
without any risk to destroy streaming replication ? And will it fix the
automated removing of WAL-files ?
