In regard to: Re: [Networker] Deleting indexes of deleted clients, Michael...:

If you have deleted the client resources, NW does not know them any
longer.

I have indeed deleted the client resources, mostly to free up licenses.

As NW does not have any reference to these directories any longer,
deleting them is all you need to do.

I thought I might. I saw "nsrck -Y -R", but I think that would only be
relevant if I wanted to delete indexes of *current* clients, for whatever
reason. Since I have no client definition entered in NW for these old
clients, I guess that wouldn't work .. (I kept the client IDs, in case I
did need to re-create them. But if so, I would "nsrck -L7" the client
index that I needed ...)

Thanks, I'll get busy deleting the unneeded folders from the OS level.

There was a thread about this exact question less than a month ago.
There were several good replies in that thread, and a (UNIX shell) script
was posted that reported client file indexes that hadn't been updated
in so many days (i.e. deleted clients).

You might want to search the archives for that thread.
