Hello,
The SEPM and LUA should never be on the same server. It's unsupported. Here's an article on the subject:
LiveUpdate Administrator 2.x and Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager on the Same Physical Server

What to do if you have Manually Deleted Files from a LiveUpdate Administrator 2.x Distribution Center?
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH132036
Please do upgrade to LUA 2.3.2 to take advantage of improvements and fixes.
An "emergency purge" option may be added to a future release of LUA. There is a Connect Forum "Idea" (proposed enhancement request) that can be supported by those who wish to voice their interest in such an option: "Purge Now" Button for LiveUpdate Administrator 2.x
The best current solution, if it is strongly believed that an existing DC contains files that it should not:
- Backup the LUA 2.x server's settings
- Backup the contents of the DC
- Delete the DC in LUA's Configure / Distribution Centers GUI
- Afterward, re-create the DC with the same location, name, etc
This will wipe out all of the current contents and replace them with only the current, known-good, valid materials from the LUA server's Manage Updates directory.
Additional Information
There are a number of proposed changes to the way that LUA handles its content. Admins may wish to cast a vote in support of the following enhancements to the way LUA manages updates and displays information about them:
Hope that helps!!
