[sims] Solus3 PKG Files

[KingDuncan]

Is it ok to delete pkg files?

 

I have a number in the following directory tree

 

SIMS\Solus3\Repository\DoNotDeleteThisFolder\...

 

I obviously do not intend to delete the folder, but within that folder there are a number of randomly numbered folders with very large pkg files. They seem to relate to upgrades, but they are taking up a huge amount of space (1.6GB altogether).

 

Thanks

Assuming you have upgraded to SOLUS 3.12.41 you can go into 'Settings | SOLUS3 | SOLUS' and click the 'Clean repository' button, this should remove any pkg file from the repository that is no longer valid for the currently installed products or the previous version. (there are some very old things that are still needed as they haven't been updated in a long time so you can't just remove all pkg files over a year old without getting rid of these files. e.g. the Borland database stuff)

Thanks for the quick response. When clicked, I get a message to say that the Repository Clean up has been scheduled. Will this then happen automatically at some point in the future or do I need to action the scheduled task somehow?

 

Many thanks

it's usually done by the next day, you don't need to do anything else (assuming SOLUS3 is functioning normally)
