Cleaning up disk storage space

To keep your system running smoothly, refer to the topic Basic system operations .

Consider the following tasks that you can do to clean up your system and make more disk space available:

• Use the automatic cleanup option in Operational Assistant to keep your system free of unnecessary clutter.
• Permanently apply program temporary fixes (PTFs) that are temporarily applied on your system if you have not already done so.
• Delete PTF save files and cover letters that are no longer needed. (Use the Delete PTF (DLTPTF) command to do this.)
• Delete any software applications that you installed from software sampler media.
• For licensed programs or optional parts that you no longer use, perform the steps in the topic Deleting licensed programs during cleanup. Read the topics on deleting licensed programs in Deleting software related to the IBM i operating system for additional information.
• Have each user perform the tasks in Cleaning up user profiles. Delete any user profiles that you no longer need.
