Hi,

What's the SEPM version? If it's not SEP 12.1 RU5 then upgrade can be a solution. However, if don't have any plan to upgrade I believe it's an acceptable size for 30 content revisions.

SEP 12.1 RU5 has Content Storage Optimization feature:

As part of the upgrade to SEPM 12.1 RU5, the SEPM converts all of the content from full definitions to delta definitions. This process is resource intensive and may take an extended period of time. After this process is completed, the SEPM will use significantly less disk space.

In a typical enterprise setup where 30 content revisions stored, the SEPM upgrade process must reduce 55GB of full content to under 2GB of delta content. This process requires significant resources to complete and is impacted by the performance of any available CPUs, CPU cores (physical/logical/hyperthreading), memory, and disks (I/O). On a server that performs multiple roles, stores larger numbers of content, or is otherwise resource constrained, this process may take a longer duration to complete.

Hello,

it is normal if you still have SEPM 12.1 lower than RU5. Please, upgrade to RU5 which has a smarter way to store the definitions in inetpub folders and you will save several GB's of disk space.

Hello All,

     Version is RU4 MP1

        Thanks for the Information but in our Enviroment we are not going to upgrade to RU5

        We are waiting for RU6 offical release so that we could go directly

        need  temporary solution at present to have 30 content revision but need to manage the disk Space 150 GB were we have 18 GB left need to maintance the disk within for this revsion till RU6 is release

  Do any have Idea when will RU6 Offical be available in the fileconnect

Thanks

You can expect RU6 in the next month. As a workaround can upgrade the SEPM only and don't upgrade clients. After RU6 release upgrade the SEPM & SEP clients both.
 

With 18 GB you should survive till you upgrade to RU6.
