As you examine the preceding lists of files, you might want to archive, rather than delete, the following files:

•IA64VMSSYS.PAR (OpenVMS I64 systems)

•MODPARAMS.DAT

•LMF$LICENSE.LDB

•RIGHTSLIST.DAT

•SYSUAF.DAT

Also, if you previously removed layered products, those products might have created additional files that you might want to delete, move, or archive.

7.Review the target disk for the directory structures [VMS$COMMON...] and [SYSx...] that remain after you remove the OpenVMS operating system. You might want to delete these directories.

Note that the directories [SYSx]SYSCOMMON.DIR (in all [SYSx]) are aliases for the file [000000]VMS$COMMON.DIR. Do not delete these SYSCOMMON.DIR files. Instead, use the SET FILE /REMOVE command as follows:

$ SET FILE /REMOVE [SYS*]SYSCOMMON.DIR

After you execute this command and delete, move or archive all the files in

[VMS$COMMON...], you can delete [000000]VMS$COMMON.DIR. Then you can delete, move, or archive the files in each [SYSx] directory.
