HI Abdul,
By using below command, you can calculate how much space you can free.

cleanup -p -c1 > cleanup_patch

Hi Abdul,

These are roll back copies of currently applied patches. The superseded patch files will be saved in this directory. If you remove phxxxx, you will not be able to uninstall the superseding patch of phxxxx from the system.

You will get idea from the below thread.

# cleanup -c2

(try to house keep system log files)

# /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log*

# cd /var/mail -> you can deleted (root, emails)

Look for large files under (/var)

# find /var -xdev -type f -size +5000000c -exec ll {} \; | sort -nk 5

or

# du -ak /var | sort -nr | more

Normally you do not need to rollback patches if ur system is running fine.

SO take the backup of /var file system and run
#cleanup -c 1 >>>>>> would remove patched which are superceded once

this would remove all superceeded patch and would free up a good space.

cleanup -c 2 >>> would remove patched which are superceded twice
