Manual Cleanup of old distribution point

Recommended Posts

I have searched technet and haven't found an exact fix for the problem I am having -

 

We had our one of our distribution points on the same server as our management point (Primary Site Server). During some large software pushes our management point would bog down so we setup a new distribution point and I removed the distribution point role off of the management point. I forgot to go through the steps of removing content from the dp through the console before removing the distribution point role - now I have 500gb of content I would like to remove to re-claim some disk space on the VM.

 

Would anyone know the steps/files/folders to manually clean up this content? Just don't want to delete the wrong thing and break the MP/Primary Site Server.

 

Thanks

Ok I re-added the dp to our dp group, and it "re-discovered" all the apps/packages/os images in the SCCMContentLib folder. I then went to the DP and selected all the content to delete and removed all content from the DP. Still the SCCMContentLib hasn't shrunk in size. Is there any way to force it to remove old content before de-commissioning the DP?

 

I see this same question asked multiple times in the search for this site, but never a reply...
