VMWare Update Manager Log Files

[MarkCowen]

We appear to be running out of diskspace and discovered that we appear to have a large amount out GB taken up

Under the VMWare update Manager Logs directory.

can the files in this directory be safely deleted ?

the file types vary these consist of

.request.log files can these be deleted ?

and

vmware-updatemgr-xxxx.dmp files can these be deleted ?

.dmp files are generated during service crash. Check the date when the files are generated and you may delete them if they are old. .dmp files are not used by any running processes.

Ok thanks this appears to have solved the issue

Hi,

You can even automate the process by running this little command batch file

C:

del *.dmp

Put that into a text file and save it as a .bat, either run it as a scheduled task if the computer stays on all the time, or as a logon script

We use this to delete temp files from our file-server.
