Endpoint Protection

Good afternoon everyone.

 I am runnig SAVFL MR12 on my Linux box and I just realized that the directory /opt/Symantec/virusdefs is about 1.9 GB of disk space.

That's what I can see right now :
 

virusdefs]# du -h . 
310M        ./tmp7419a525 
4.0K        ./tmp76e783a5 
266M        ./20111113.005 
234M        ./binhub 
4.0K        ./tmp27bc70f0 
234M        ./tmpc771901 
2.5M        ./tmp49f04f2b 
4.0K        ./tmp4ba80351 
236M        ./tmp74d6fd31 
4.0K        ./incoming 
310M        ./tmp5a96b35 
266M        ./20111114.004 
4.0K        ./texthub 

My questions are :

- Can I remove some of these files/directories ?

- Is there any action to take before/after remove them ?

Please let me know if do you need any other information

Thanks

Moving to the SAV/SEP forum for better visiblity.

Hi Renato,

Just stumbled across this thread today - have you already fixed the issue?

That behavior does sound odd.  How old are the oldest files?  Do the oldest ones get deleted?

If need be, here is a good article on how to clean up those directories:
