Cleaning up SBSStore
Created: 08 Mar 2013 | 1 comment
I have noticed a few posts now that talk about cleaning out the SBSStore to improve task performance. I took a look at my server and see over 3,000 files in there going back years on my NS alone. However, I can't seem to find an office KB article on the cleanup steps. Also, would I need to cleanup my site server too or will it sync down from the NS?

First, it doesn't improve performance. The folder is historical only. It's akin to having too many temporary internet files on your system, so if simply reducing the number of wasted very small files improves overall OS performance, go for it.
Personally, I like to remove them because it bothers me on a fundamental level to have 3000 no-longer-ever-to-be-used files just sitting taking space in a folder structure.
How to? Ctrl-A to select all, then Shift-Del. Pretty easy. Don't delete the folder, just everything in it. SBS Store is, literally, ONLY for historical purposes and troubleshooting.
Have fun.
