3. Introduction
Agile PLM's MetaFileRemover ToolIs the file manager
space growing significantly in your Agile PLM
deployment? Are you using AutoVue? If so, this blog may
be just what you’ve been looking for!
In addition to storing attachments, the Agile PLM file
manager also stores AutoVue cache files, also called
metafiles or streaming files. Over time, these cache files
can build up and occupy a significant amount of disk
space. The good news is that these can be removed
without affecting the system allowing you to recover that
lost disk space.

4. How It’s Done
My test Agile PLM system is 9.3.1.2 and is on a windows platform, thus the
instructions will show windows paths.
1.Unzip E:AgileAgile931agileDomaintoolsMetaFilesRemover.zip
2.Navigate to E:AgileAgile931agileDomaintoolsMetaFilesRemover from a
command window
3.If you are going to run this in the future, I would suggest making a batch file
(remove.bat) that is similar to the one on the following slide
4.Execute the script: remove.bat

5. Remove.bat
@echo off
setlocal
set PATH=E:jdk1.6.0_32bin;%PATH%

set usr=ifsuser
set pwd=agile
