Cleaning the Inside


Share (K) Directory
  • Check with your LANTech and/or unit colleagues before re-organizing or deleting anything from your department's Share (K) directory.
  • Each department is allocated 20 megs per person for the Share (K) directory. Your LANTech can confirm how much should be available.
  • Delete any files that you no longer need, after making sure that no one else in your unit needs the files.

Groupwise Archive & Home (H) Directory

  • See how much space you are using:
    • Open the Launcher
    • Click on "Fixes & Utitilities" icon
    • Double click on the "H & W Disk Space Quota " icon
    • A window will appear describing your allotted space, your used space, and your free space. Screen shots are provided below.
    • Close the window when you are through reviewing your space information.
  • To clean out your archives, go into to GroupWise and open the archive.
    • Delete any messages that you no longer need. More information is available on the web.
    • More information about email retention (auto-deleting and archiving) can be found on the ETSS Website.
    • Remember to empty the trash in your Groupwise archive in order for the messages to be completely deleted.
  • To clean out your Home (H) directory, delete any files you no longer need.
  • The "H & W Disk Space Quota" can be run again and should reflect new totals immediately after cleaning out your old files and emails.
