[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk clean up packages issue

[Sulove Khanal]

Thanks Avi, is that the "sync only latest packages" checkbox on the UI under the Sync tab for a Software Channel?

Out of curiosity, how is this done via the cli? 

Regards,
Sulove

This didn’t use to happen before maybe 2 months ago, and nothing has changed I believe in my environment to warrant this change; the script was ran and space would not fill out the night after.
    
    You'll want to check your channel sync scripts to make sure spacewalk-repo-sync is called using the --latest/-n flag (at least for the channels that fill up your disk space) so that Spacewalk doesn't redownload all the old packages you removed. There is also a UI checkbox for this on the Sync tab for a Software Channel.
    
    Cheers,
