Disk space used by Sophos

Hi,

I am hoping that someone here can advise me on how to free up disk space after updates or reconfigure Sophos update manager to delete old update directories automatically.

These directories are using up enormous amounts of disk space. I have been deleting them manually (all update directories in windows\temp\sophos_autoupdate1), except for the latest one of course. I would have thought that the update manager would have done this for me.

The first time I did this I recovered 20Gb of disk space.

I am running Sophos on WinXP Pro 32bit

Any ideas anyone?

Hello markdu,
this is not normal operation (BTW: the component is called AutoUpdate not Update Manager - the latter is running on the server. If you really run an SUM on the XP machine it's still the client component which is using this directory). The error is not unknown though, please read Sophos Anti-Virus: installation of package failed because of error during package decoding.
