List of Files You Can Safely Delete
Bridge Log Files
Bridge log files can be deleted at any time. Current log files may be locked by services. If you delete a log file of the current day, the Bridge will create a new one and continue logging to the new file.The following log files can be deleted without effecting the system:
- all xUML service and Node.js service logs from
<your bridge data directory>/<service directory>/logs
- all Bridge access and error logs from
<your bridge data directory>/servlets/logs/admin
- all proxy logs from
<your bridge data directory>/proxies/logs
- Service Backup Files
On every service deployment, the Bridge creates a service export of the old service as a backup to folder <your Bridge data directory>/backup
. - System Files of Old Installations
In your Bridge program folder, you may find folders containing old installations of- xUML Runtime, e.g.
bridgeserver-2019.1
- Apache, e.g.
apache-2.2.29
- Tomcat, e.g.
tomcat-9.0.12
- Node.js, e.g.
nodejs-8.9.1
- Java, e.g.
j2re-1.8.152
These folders can safely be deleted, if you do not have any services up and running that use them.
