remove unneeded Vault backup files

Post by tficken2 » Thu Jan 04, 2024 1:04 pm

Hello,

I tried to Undo Checkout on too many files at once and that appears to have eaten up ALL of my disk space on C. None of the files were modified, and if they think they are, I do not need those modifications. I think Vault keeps local copies of stuff other than my working folder? What can I safely delete so that I can get my disk space back (and never, ever try such a foolish thing again)?

Thank you!

Tara

Yeah... the _sgbak is a folder full of files that are saved in the case of something catastrophic and you didn't really mean to undo a check out or overwrite a file on a GET. If you do NOT need the files, you can safely delete them. There are client side options for the backup directory as well.

Glad you were able to find a resolution.
