Files in Application Data\ directory?

Hey there!

I was doing some profiling of the disk on one of my servers, and I realized I had a ton of disk usage taken up in a couple of users' profile directories under:

Application Data\SourceGear\Vault_1\Client\some guid\

What is stored there exactly? Can I just delete it every so often when it builds up?

Thanks!

Those are client-side cache files. You can learn about them at http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?t=6

On a server, it's probably safe to clear them out (but you should be careful about that if you have shadow folders configured on the server). They exist to make things faster and easier for Vault Clients running on that box. If no one uses your server for their working folders, you shouldn't need them.

Just to check. Those are local profiles on the server that you're talking about not roaming profiles, right?

Mostly. If you have roaming profiles, this data will roam with you, but if you don't do roaming profiles, then the data will only stay on the server.

Yeah, I just was checking that the original poster wasn't referring to roaming profiles which as I understand them (never having actually used one) they live on a server and are accessed wherever you log on.

So deleting the Vault files from a user's roaming profile would be a bad thing even if it does reside on the server.

Sorry Mike, I'm still in a fog this morning.
