2.5 Purging Deleted Files
The Purge utility lets you purge deleted files and directories from Novell file systems. Deleted files are purged from a volume when one of the following events occurs:
- The Purge Delay setting times out. Deleted files are purged automatically.
- The server starts purging files if a volume starts to fill up; the oldest files that have been deleted are automatically purged.
- If you do not want a file to be restored after deletion, you can enable the Immediate Purge of Deleted Files parameter. The file is deleted and purged immediately.
- You manually purge the deleted files.
WARNING:The Purge utility permanently removes deleted files from the selected directory. Purged files cannot be recovered with the Salvage utility.
IMPORTANT:You cannot purge deleted files or directories from an OES for Linux Reiser volume.
