Can the Files in the Octopus Folder Be Deleted

Description of Issue

Our Octopus folder is continuing to grow and is limiting available space on our drive

Can the files in (drive letter):\Octopus\Files\ be deleted?

Context
  • Tyler Deploy

  • Octopus

  • TSM On Premises

  • TSM SaaS

Cause

Deployment packages are saved to this folder whenever a deployment is run

Resolution
  • The files in (drv):\Octopus\Files\ can safely be removed after a deployment has installed successfully. 

  • Please note, if you remove all packages from (drv):\Octopus\Files\ Octopus Deploy may need to re-download some packages when you install the next product release, which may result in the deployment taking a little bit longer to run than usual. If you leave the files there, Octopus does not have to transfer full packages on your next update.
