I checked and they had never emptied their trash can, so that was the first step. I also saw that contentstore.deleted was exactly 100GB, so I removed it. The user emptied their trash, I waited overnight, and contentstore.deleted is only 1.3GB, although the user insists they deleted 500GB of files. Am I missing something? Does Alfresco's contentstore.deleted directory have a limit of 100G? Does it take numerous iterations of waiting for contentstore.deleted to fill?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Any input is greatly appreciated,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>-Scott.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 28 Aug 2015 15:53:13 GMT scottcarson 2015-08-28T15:53:13Z Hard Drive Full - Disk Usage Solutions Not Working https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/hard-drive-full-disk-usage-solutions-not-working/m-p/299626#M252756 Hello everyone,4.2.eBackground: I understand file cleanup goes as follows:- file gets deleted -&gt; goes to trashcan (aka labelled as deleted in DB but still present in contentstore)- trashcan gets emptied -&gt; goes to contentstore.deleted at 4AM (aka DB marks files as orphaned, then moves them to Fri, 28 Aug 2015 15:53:13 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/hard-drive-full-disk-usage-solutions-not-working/m-p/299626#M252756 scottcarson 2015-08-28T15:53:13Z Re: Hard Drive Full - Disk Usage Solutions Not Working https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/hard-drive-full-disk-usage-solutions-not-working/m-p/299627#M252757 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>There are a series of setting that control this, I cannot remember them off hand but there are documents on the forums &amp; in the wiki that explain them. There is a setting about "eager" cleanup somewhere. I think, if memory serves, there is a delay between emptying trash and stuff ending up in contentstore.deleted. There is no limit to the size of contentstore.deleted that I am aware of.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sat, 29 Aug 2015 13:59:02 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/hard-drive-full-disk-usage-solutions-not-working/m-p/299627#M252757 rjohnson 2015-08-29T13:59:02Z
