Hi,
I've been trying to clean up old expired updates on my SCCM 2012 SP1 server and for whatever reason it seems that the updates files are never actually getting removed.
At first I tried the instructions at http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2012/04/12/software-update-content-cleanup-in-system-center-2012-configuration-manager.aspx
When I run the script they provide it appears to go thru all the updates but never actually deletes any of them. The script always seems to say found it found an existing folder and then later it says that that it is excluding the same folder because it is active.
Then I read that SP1 for SCCM 2012 is actually supposed to do the clean up process automatically. But in this case do I need to do anything like expire the updates manually or does SCCM now do that? How can I see what is preventing either the manual script or the automatic clean up process from actually removing the unneeded files and folders?
And does anything need to be done with superseded updates as well?
Also I've always thought that when you SCCM 2012 to do your updates that you should never go to the WSUS console and do anything but I read http://blog.coretech.dk/kea/house-of-cardsthe-configmgr-software-update-point-and-wsus/ and he is going the WSUS console and doing a clean up there as well.
Thanks in advance,
Nick
