Index files are subject to cleanup every 24 hours as described in Scheduled Cleanup. When this process runs, some files that were selected for deletion (based on retention settings) may not be deleted. The Index Directory Cleanup Report is a log that contains a list of these index files, along with the reasons that these files were not deleted.
Note
Index files that reside in the intermediate index cache are not included in this report.
When To Use the Report
The Index Cache Cleanup Report is useful in the following cases:
-
When an aged index did not get pruned or deleted during cleanup.
For example: A job may have locked the index or the index may have been corrupted.
-
To analyze the number of index files present in the MediaAgent computer.
For example: The presence of too many index files may require aggressive cleanup activity.
Where To Find the Report
The Index Cache Cleanup Report is created on the MediaAgent computer, in the following directory:
