In my ostree repository I have a commit that creates a staticdelta of 380MB. This was caused by a bug in our buildsystem as the staticdeltas in our system are normally significantly smaller than that (~7.5MB).
The first and third commit are the appropriate size however the second is the pesky static delta that I'm trying to deal with.

I tried to mitigate this by create a new static delta using it's start commit with it's child commit (88453200a4-6c1ba14b05) essentially trying to nullify the 380MB and I was expecting a new staticdelta of just a few MB as that reflects the real change.
However, this is not what I'm seeing and in fact I'm still generating a 380MB staticdelta.
I'm curious to know if this is the expected behavior. I had hoping this worked like git where I'm allowed to cancel out diffs using the above scheme.
For the sake of providing enough context, I provided below the output of 'ostree static-delta generate'
I would greatly appreciate any thoughts.
Thank you,
Davis
