PurgeUnneededFiles..Delete all files not needed on the WSUS server.enCommunityServer 2008.5 SP2 (Build: 40407.4157)http://msmvps.com/blogs/athif/archive/2005/10/27/Purge-Delete-the-downloaded-patches-on-WSUS-Server.aspx#107311Fri, 11 Aug 2006 05:56:54 GMTd67277c4-116b-43f1-b688-e9ef184ea916:107311DragosHi, If I want to delete updates that are actually declined on my wsus server from the hard drive I have only got to stop the Windows Server Update Services website and run WsusDebugTool.exe /Tool:PurgeUnneededFiles ? <br> <br>Do I also have to run the other 3 commands ? <br> <br>Note: My wsus is running with sql server 2k. <br> <br>For example: I have downloaded many drivers when I installed the wsus server and now I don't need them any more; If my understanding is correct I first have to decline these updates, stop the service in IIS and run WsusDebugTool.exe /Tool:PurgeUnneededFiles on the server ? <br> <br>Many thanks, Dragos<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=107311" width="1" height="1">http://msmvps.com/blogs/athif/archive/2005/10/27/Purge-Delete-the-downloaded-patches-on-WSUS-Server.aspx#101022Tue, 13 Jun 2006 14:17:47 GMTd67277c4-116b-43f1-b688-e9ef184ea916:101022George J. CapniasDue to an error during the distribution of the SQL Server 2005 SP1, WSUS downloaded 6,8GB instead of 1,8GB in the local repository. <br> <br>Running the above sequence will erase the unwanted files, and the unwanted SQL Server 2005 SP1 files, that are not wanted according the language filters (english language downloads only)? <br> <br>Thanks, <br>George J. <br><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=101022" width="1" height="1">
