Cleaning a Storage Disk
The cleaning process scans the storage disk and removes inactive files
that have not been accessed since the endtime, and orphaned file copies
(i.e., archive copies on the file system disk,). Using this process helps
prevent the inactive information from growing to an unmanageable size.
This process does not affect current file versions on the media.
1From the SNSM home page, choose Storage Disk > Clean from the
Admin menu. The Clean Storage Disk screen appears.
