vRealize Operations Manager appliance /storage/db cleanup

First of all, I'm not sure exactly which location is best for Operations Manager, but figured I would start here. 

I received a alarm that /storage/db is running out of space.  I see a couple of potential areas for cleanup before adding space. 

/storage/db/vcops/vpostgres has repl_old and data_old directories from 2019.  I assume these are safe to manually purge.
/storage/db/casa/pak/dist_pak_files.  Is there a documented supported way of removing older pak files?

The disk presented to the appliance is 450 gigs.  I understand I would need to attach a new drive and boot the appliance, which would recognize the disk and add it to /storage/db.  At this point, I'm not sure what consumption should look like and how much to conservatively add.

Thanks,
Joel

Yes, that was going to be my next step, but wanted to see about clearing some of the directories first.  I did end up adding another 100 gig drive.

Thanks,
