Thanks! I found them in /var/satellite and did

# find /var/satellite –name “*debuginfo*” –type d | xargs rm –rf

    You must know which directory the packages are stored in.  For me, it's /spacewalk/satellite/redhat.  That's just the way I set it up.  YMMV.  Do a search for a couple of packages that you're sure are in one of your repos.

    Which spacewalk dir? I did a “find / -name spacewalk –type d” and none of the resulting directories contained a large amount of data.

        Chris,
        
        I don't know if this will be of any help to you, and someone will probably come up with a better solution, but here's what I once did.  I needed to remove Rpmforge repos, as Rpmforge ceased existence.  I deleted the repos, and ran fsck, but the Rpmforge-related packages remained.  Fortunately, "rf" was in the package names from Rpmforge, so I ran the following one-liner in the spacewalk directory:  "find . -type f -name '*.rf.*' -exec rm {} +".  That took care of the problem.  If the packages that you want to remove also have some identifier like "rf", perhaps this will work for you.

        I did the spacewalk-remove-channel but it did NOT delete packages. I’m now trying to do spacewalk-data-fsck but I get this…
        
        [root at td-spacewalk bin]# spacewalk-data-fsck -r Spacewalk 23672 2017/04/13 10:33:37 -04:00: ERROR LOG FILE: Couldn't open log file /var/log/rhn/spacewalk-data-fsck.log

            Hi Christopher,
            
            There are spacewalk-remove-channel and spacewalk-data-fsck commands which
            can help you.
