    Hi,

    SEPM 11.0 captured over 11.0 GB space in My server 2008, so from where inside Program Files---SEPM I can delete to manage some space? Please look at the uploaded image.

    Hello,
     
    By default the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager downloads and keeps a particular number of virus definition revisions in its repositories based on the type of install performed:
     
    Simple: A management server that manages fewer than 100 clients and uses an embedded database.
    3 revisions
                  
    Advanced: A management server that manages more than 100 clients or if you want to customize the configuration.
    Between 100 and 500 = 3 revisions
    Between 500 and 1,000 = 10 revisions
    More than 1,000 = 30 revisions
     
    Reference: Maintaining the database

    You can delete the legacy client packages from the SEPM console if not required. 

    Path: SEPM--> Admin --> Install packages

    Depends on number of clients you have..

    11GB is not huge when  you have good number of clients. How many clients do you have in your network?

    Hello,

    I would recommend you to make sure you have the SEP 11 migrated to the Latest version - About Maintaining Consistency of Software Versions throughout a SEP 11 Organization

    Currently SEP 11.0.7300 is the latest version.

    and work on the following Articles:

    "Thumbs up" to all the good advice, above.  11GB sounds fairly typical.  Of course, the amount of space depends on the number of clients, number of revisions, whether the database in on the same server or a remote MS SQL server....

    Hello,

    please, enter in that folder and identify the biggest subfolders, this will be more indicative of what could be tuned to reduce the used disk space, however, 11 GB is a typical size.
