Problem:
I would like to clear up space in Foreman but with reclaim space and remove orphans it doesn’t clean a lot. What is the best way to clear up space in Foreman (have 3.1 TB). I have deleted some of old OS and content views and it has clean op just a few GB?
Expected outcome:
Foreman and Proxy versions:
Distribution and version:
RHEL 8.8

Hi @senetm ,
What mirroring and download policies do you use for your repositories? Reclaiming space only works for ‘on demand’ repositories. If you’re using the additive mirroring policy, you can set the number of package versions that get kept on the repo.

What do you suggest?
For Ubuntu, the only thing you can do is delete old content view versions and run orphan cleanup. For RHEL, disk cleanup is what you want, along with also deleting old content view versions.
The content view version purge command in hammer can help with the above.
