You might want to permanently delete files in order to make space available within a data quota or to recover disk space.
When users delete files or file versions, the disk space occupied by the deleted files and versions counts against the data quotas until users permanently delete the files and versions, as described in Making Disk Space Available by Deleting Trashed Items
in the Novell Filr 1.2 Web Application User Guide.
As a Filr administrator, you can permanently delete files and versions anywhere on the Filr site in order to make space available within a user’s data quota.
Whether disk space is recovered after you permanently delete files using the Filr interface differs depending on whether you are deleting files in Net Folders or files from a user’s personal storage in the My Files area:
If you want to recover disk space on your file system, permanently deleting files in Net Folders using the Filr interface should also delete the files from the underlying file system, depending on the underlying implementation of the storage.
If you want to recover disk space on the Filr system, you must permanently delete the files from Filr.
For information about how to purge items, see Making Disk Space Available by Deleting Trashed Items
in the Novell Filr 1.2 Web Application User Guide.
