Hey Everyone,
So as we have been using SCCM (2006) for awhile now and becoming an Admin for SCCM; I have the task to get more space for our VM. Doing some snooping; I have found a lot of GB piled up in our WSUS folders...in each of them folders that date back from 2018 as nobody took precedent of doing maintenance and clean up; now which is my unfortunate task.
I went through each of these folders and have found folders dating back from 2018 and newer. As SCCM is our go to deploying updates to our clients; what is the best approach to clean up these old folders? Are they dormant as such as I can just do a full deletion of folders from 2018, or will I break sync?
I ask cause I assume SCCM reaches our to the cloud to pick up updates from MS; but my supervisor has said that it uses the native server WSUS for connection. But according to our setup, this is shown here:
I went ahead and entered WSUS and started a Server Cleanup Wizard as shown here:
and removed about 83 gigs of space. But the remaining folders above still show from 2018,2019,2020 dates for WSUSContnet,UpdateServicesPackages and SCCMDeploymentPackages.
Can I delete those folders manually and wont break anything? Like SCCM ability to download updates from Microsoft? Just doing my best to do cleanup of our SCCM server.
