HP SIM 5.3 - Safe to Delete .OUT files?

JasonF — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:28:54 GMT

I have an installation of 5.3 that is slowly taking over the harddrive. Most of that space is taken up by .OUT files in the \output\ folder. Is is safe to purge these files? They appear to be simple action logs.

Any information would be appreciated.

I have a running scheduled task to delete these files on a daily basis, and have had no issues with this. In fact, my SIM UI experience appears to be much improved once the files are purged regularly.

I delete *.out. I remember reading an article somewhere a long time ago that they were safe to delete, and based the task on that.
