Project folder is becoming huge

Hello,

I would like to know if there is something to do when the project folder starts to take a lot of place. (4Gb) besides the below:

- cleanup &PH& folder (command CLEAR.FILE &PH&)
- clean log files (job by job Clear-Log)

Is there a way to do a mass log cleanup without going in each job one by one? (most our job use auto-purge, but it seems not all, and I don't know which one don't). A way to get each job log size might also help identifying the ones to clean in priority

Is there a way to 'clean' unused folders (ie RT_TEMP, others ...)
I've read that those folders might stay when jobs are deleted, but how do I know which are not used anymore?

Thanks

The DS_* and RT_* folders are used. Don't delete them or their contents.

There are no utilities supplied out of the box for implementing mass log purges, though I am sure that some folks have written them. You can tell whether a log is set for auto-purge or not by determining whether it has a control record //PURGE.SETTINGS.
