AEM removing .snapshot packages.

Avatar

Level 7

Hi folks,

I have a lot of .snapshot packages in /etc/packages/<various>/.snapshot  directories.

 

I have been deleted them with curl scripts as they are taking up space. Just checking it is o.k. to do this .

 

thanks

Fiona

Yeah, That's ok. The snapshot packages are auto-created when you installed a new version of the same artifact(1) for the "uninstall" feature from packageManager to work, so it is good to purge these from time to time.

It is safe to delete any packages under/etc/packages and it will not uninstall any package.

Packages under /etc/packages are just a backup for installing or uninstalling packages.

The same is true for snapshots.

My recommendation would be to upload service packs to the package manager and delete them from /etc/packages when not needed anymore.

 

Using crx-quickstart/install means anyway when cleaning up disk space that one has to clean up crx-quickstart/install and /etc/packages.
