Disk space used by Sophos

markdu

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?

    Christian - thanks for the prompt reply.

    I didn't think that it was normal behavior. I  have followed the instructions on the link you gave to delete the files in the cache and warehouse and and updated successfully. I will monitor the autoupdate directory for the next few days.

    If that has not fixed it then I will undertake a reinstall of Sophos.

    Thanks again.
