Auto Cleanup "C:\ProgramData\Veeam\$VeeamUpdates"

Post by c.schulzejn »

I just noticed that our workstation in our lab is running out of disk space. Some not quite small amount is consumed by old VBR Console install files. Isn't there some sort of cleanup process within the update process?

Hi Christoph,

Currently, there is no automated cleanup of the "auto-updater folder" due to a few technical reasons - we were discussing this topic before the initial implementation. You may clean the folder manually - it should not cause any issues.

Btw, what's the current size of the folder?

Thanks

Thank you for the information, Christoph. Honestly, I expected a bigger size here :). Feel free to remove the files manually.
