Deleting files following removal of a messaging engine

Removing a messaging engine from the configuration does not automatically delete the file store’s files. You need to also find and delete the log file, the permanent store file and the temporary store file from the disk in order to reclaim disk space.

About this task

Note: Files comprising a file store still remain when the messaging engine is deleted. If you are using the default values for the file store directory names, it is possible to delete and then recreate a messaging engine with the same name without manually removing the files. This is due to the presence of the messaging engine’s Universal Unique IDentifier (UUID) in the default log and store directory names of a file store.
Example: If the deleted messaging engine is called messagingengine0, and the new one messagingengine1 then the log files in the old and new file stores are
C:\{USER_INSTALL_ROOT}\filestores\..\messagingengine0\..\logfile
and
C:\{USER_INSTALL_ROOT}\filestores\..\messagingengine1\..\logfile
The two log files coexist in the same file stores directory. You do not have to delete the old files if you choose.

Procedure

  1. Locate the directory in which your old file store log files and store files are stored.
  2. Delete the redundant files using the facilities of the operating systems.
Results

After deleting the files left by the redundant file store, free disk space becomes available to your file system.
