Cleaning the _NetWare directory
Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Q:
I want to reclaim space prior to a NetWare 6.5 upgrade, and I noticed the
_NetWare directory is about 1GB in size. What can be safely deleted
(cleaned up) out of the _Netware directory?
A:
Nothing! Run purge_nw.nlm instead prior to any install/upgrade. You may also want to run a repair local database with "reclaim database free space" selected.
This is a hidden directory that holds your server's directory services, the directory itself, a copy of the server registry, licensing, and some NICI stuff - so it's best not delete ANYTHING out of it.
