Deleted old System-update directories

I am about to install ZCM 11 SP3 on our ZCM 11.2.3.a linux servers.
In an attempt to free up space can I delete the older system-updates from the /var/opt/novell/zenworks/content-repo/system-update folder.
Thanks
Mark

There is a bug (IMO), but it's a WAD that can cause the old system-updates to remain and zman sudu won't delete anything.
Should only happen on your satellite servers though.
If it's your satellites that have the old system updates, then yes, you can manually delete the directories.
It has something to do with the content replication schedule and the automatic (hard coded) database cleanup routines. IF the database cleanup routines run before the content replication, then you end up with orphaned system updates in the system and since the database thinks it's gone, zman sudu doesn't do anything.
I had like 15 GB of system updates I had to delete on 20+ servers.

  • Delete old itunes updates

    I need to know if is ok to delete old itunes updates from the computer, cause I have like 4 already plus the ipod updates, and my computer is getting slow. I don't know if everytime i update it creates a new Itunes and copies all the songs. Please if someone could tell me if it's ok or not.

    Do you mean iTunes or iPod updaters like in the .exe files? Newer iTunes install over the old ones, right??
    I would burn anything off to a back up cd first.
    I once Uninstall some of the older iPod updates and ran into a small problem, so nice to have a back up. Paula

  • Delete old ipod updates

    Is it ok to delete old ipod updates, but keep the last update.thay take up close to 1gig of space.

    Yes, you can delete them. They aren't needed once they are used.
    Keeping the most recent updater is a good idea.

  • GRC-AC-5.3 - Delete old systems in CUP

    Hi,
    We are trying to delete some old systems from CUP and getting error "Cannot delete since referred in HR Trigger Action".
    The system is an old quality system that was decommissioned some time ago but was never removed from CUP (was AE at the time the old system was decommissioned)
    I have deleted all HR Triggers for this system.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    That error is occuring because that setting/system has been used within previous Access Requests etc, hence it is now part of the "Audit print". I know at one implementation, the customer was advised by the External audit to not clear the logs, as it is all auditable, hence they could not remove of any decommisioned system or roles defined in CUP.
    I assume that one could archive the logs, but I am not sure what type of readable format they are in, unless it has to be manually be saved as a readable text file and then turned into a read only file for audit purposes.

  • How to delete old system.

    Had a major problem and had to reinstall OSX. Now seems like all is working fine. How do I get rid of the old system with out losing any of my files.

    What old system? Did you do an Archive and Install? Are you referring to the Previous System Folder? If so drag it to the Trash then empty the Trash.

  • Deleted old iPhone update, now what?

    I received an error message during the new iPhone update 1.1.1, and I read some of the discussions here about removing a previous iPhone update (iPhone1,11.1.1_3A109aRestore.ipsw) to allow for the new 1.1.1 update. I did that and the update worked, but I am not sure - do I need to keep that other update, or should I just toss it? Thank you!!
    P.S. My update worked just fine after deleting the file above.

    It won't do you any good to keep the old update since you supposedly cannot revert to it anyway. Trash it and empty the trash.

  • Deleting old iPhone Updates

    My wife and I both have an iPhone 4 and we are using the same iMac with two accounts to update the Software (4.01. / 4.0.2).
    The 4.0.2 - Update has had more than 500 MB in Size and iTunes downloaded it twice - so 1 GB of HDD - Space lost on that update alone.
    Is there a way to delete the old Updates while of course not making iTunes forget that it is installed?

    I believe it does incremental backups (only backs up changed data) so those older backup files contain data that hasn't changed since the date of the backup. If you delete them you will not be able to restore the data that hasn't changed in a while.

  • Deleting old large updates

    I have some huge update Java files that I would like to delete because they are so large. Can I do that without problems or do they build on each other?
    I have both "Java SE Runtime Environment 5" (and 6) updates and straight "Java 6" updates. It comes to 900 megs!
    And if they are not all needed (I suspect) why aren't the old versions automatically uninstalled when a new version is uploaded?
    Thanks.

The most recent is all you probably need, but you may want to keep the latest 1.4.2 version in case you need to run code that's not compatible with later versions. You could always reinstall it later if you need it though.

  • Apps deleted after System Update

    Today I updated my Nokia Lumia 2520 with the latest updates. Now most of my apps are deleted and I can't reinstall them in the store! Almost all Bing apps are deleted and also the most important apps like Music Player, Reader etc. I already restarted several times and tried to reinstall the apps but it's just not possible. What can I do to get them back?

    Hi SaschaGer,
    Welcome to the forrum! 
    The apps that you mentioned are preloaded on the tablet's SW. Does this issue also happen with those that you downloaded from the Store? Are you able to search these apps in your tablet by swiping in from the right of the menu screen, and then tap  (Search)? What exactly happens when you try to reinstall these apps? Do you get any specific error, or are you unable to search them in the Store?
    If you're unable to find the apps in the tablet using the Search function, try refreshing your Lumia 2520's SW. Refreshing your Windows system will reinstall Windows without removing your personal files, settings, the applications that came with your tablet and applications that you have installed from Windows Store.
    1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and tap Settings > Change PC Settings > Update and recovery
    2. Under Refresh your PC without affecting your files, select Get started and follow the instructions on the screen.
    Let us know how it will go.

  • Deleting old JS2 Update files

    I have JS2 Runtime Environment Updates, 3, 6 & 7 in addition to SE v1.4.2 using up a lot of space on my hard drive. Can I delete one or more of them without experiencing some unforeseen problem?

    where is "home>music>previous itunes library folder" ?
    It is in your Home folder in /Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes libraries.
    Double click the *Macintosh HD* icon on your desktop. then go to Music/iTunes.
    Note that these are single files of a few dozen MB. It is not a backup of all your song files or everything in your iTunes folder.
    Deleting them won't save much space.

  • Can system update session files be deleted?

    It seems to me ThinkVantage System Update must be keeping everything it downloads.
    I now have on my T60 about 7000 files (2.5GB) of files under
    C:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\sessions.
    Does that function not clean up after itself?
    Can any of these files be safely deleted?
    It is ridiculous to increasingly consume disk space like it does.
    Thanks. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You can delete everything except system, temp, QuestResponse.xml, and updates.ser. If you delete those, System Update won't be able to start.

  • Why can't I see system updates anymore.

    Ok fine maybe it was a little inflamitory last time.  Here it is again.  I just want the old system update back.  The system updates are hidden from me.  This is a real concern.  When I have a software developer telling me make sure you don't update java for a another couple of weeks.  The program you depend on will not work properly.  I.E.  I will fail my programming class.  This is a real concern for me.  I have had to go into package files and change code.  I have more than just a few programs that don't work.  And I can't even backup my system the way I want to, with a program like Carbon Copy Cloner.  If I were to get a crash of some kind.  I have no recourse because my Macbook is a mid 2009 Macbook Pro.  I can't fire up a cloned copy to a previous version.  This is anything but smooth.  This is a disaster.  You are going to push an update that will crash people's computers and we will not know until it is too late.

    If you want the old System Update back thencontact Apple Feedback
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    I have no idea why a Software Developer would tell you that. Although Java is a threat to security.
    Which program that you depend on will not work? Have you contacted the developers of the software to see if they have or are intending to update their software? That is their responsibility, not Apple's.
    Why can't you backup your system with Time Machine? It is better than having no backup at all.
    All in all, Mavericks is flying along on all five of my Macs here in the studio under a heavy workload. You still have the choice to update or not. If you don't wish for the update in the Ap Store, just don't hit Download.

  • Cannot delete Flash32_11_6_602_180.ocx from an old system disk

    Hi, I am running a Windows 8 64 bit system with the most current version of Flash installed, whatever that is, since I blindly accept whatever update Adobe sends to me.  My problem is that I cannot delete the Flash32_11_6_602_180.ocx file from an old system disk where I have deleted everything else in the Windows folder except the Flash32_11_6_602_180.ocx file.
    I have seen very similar posts by Krischu on November 27, 2013 "Cannot delete/remove Flash32_11_9_900_117.ocx" and by Gdstuart on January 22, 2014 "How to delete Flash32_11_9_900_170,ocx," and I have tried the "takeown" method and the FileASSASSIN method suggested by MikeM to both of those posts, but my Flash.ocx file just won't go away.
    I am the only user of this PC, and my user account describes me as an administrator, but I keep getting the "You need to provide admistrator permission to delete this file" when I try to delete it.
    Does anyone know how to delete this file without doing what Krischu did by loading a Ubuntu system?
    Thanks for any thoughts!

    Well Pat, I definitely do filter what Microsoft tries to load on my system, for example, their insistence in trying to sneak in Bing. Either way, I keep my system up to date constantly.
    Do you understand that the file I am dealing with is on a separate disk from my system disk? I don't see any way that the OS would automatically delete files that are not part of the current OS.
    I took the disks from my old PC and installed them inside of my new PC. The old system was Windows 7 32 bit, and my new system is Windows 8 64 bit.  As I said, there is only one user on my new system, me, and I am the administrator, so there is no "original Windows Administrator password" other than the one that I use every day. The only thing that I can think of is that the file is linked to my old admin user name from the W7 system, but even if that is the case, then why wouldn't  the "takeown" method give me ownership?

  • Can I delete old folders after updates?

    Can't believe it makes one iota of difference but am using WIN7.
    Is there any reason not to delete old folders in Lightroom and PS when I upgrade or install later versions.
    Example:  I have 5 folders of updates (plus 4.2)  in my Adobe folder for Lightroom starting with 3.4 up thru 4.1.
    Can I just delete everything except 4.2?
    I have PS CS6. Can I delete the CS5 folder?
    Thanks.

    Most folks leave older versions on their systems to avoid potential issues arising from uninstalling an older version after installing a new.
    Those who DO want to clean up uninstall the older software.  Are you saying you've done that but folders are still left behind?  In that case you'd be safe to remove anything explicitly identified as a version you've uninstalled.

  • Software Update Server - Deleting old updates to make space for new ones

    On Page 77 of the SystemImage_and_SW_Updatev10.4.pdf Apple recommends "deleting old updates to make space for new ones". I've looked and searched and yet to find a way to do this. The Server Admin interface and the command line options I've looked into don't appear to provide this option.
    So I actually tried stopping the server, moving the updates from /usr/share/swupd/html to another location, starting the server, the server wouldn't start, moving the files back again, the server still won't start.
    1. Does anyone know how you're supposed to "Delete old updates to make space for new ones"
    2. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get Software Update service running again?
