Disk Cleanup

Post by markp » Fri Jul 08, 2016 10:47 am

I needed to do some disk cleanup due to low disk space, one of the things I found was Vault is taking up @1GB of disk space over several directories. All of the data is in my C:\Users\{name}\Appdata\Local\SourceGear\Vault_1\Client\*.. Can any of these directories be removed? I attached a picture of the directories.

Thanks
Mark

What you've found is the Vault client-side cache. If you are actively working across many repositories, then you probably need them all. If you only work in one repository, then it's possible to identify which folder you need so you can delete the rest.

This KB article tells you what is actually in the client-side cache: http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?t=6. This other article will provide you with various methods for clean-up: http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic ... 13&t=11513. You will mostly likely want the instructions under the heading "To clear the cache for a specific repository."

Thanks for the prompt reply. Will see what I can do to clean it up, I do work in 3 repositories.
