I find this confusing in the case the storage has no prune settings configured and
also if there's one its intransparent as one cannot really tell which one.
So I'd maybe only enable (or show?) this if it can actually do something, and in
that case I'd also show the current settings (they could change in theory until
the job is submitted, but not the norm and still better than nothing).
