As far as I know, due to the way that ADSM works with each client
governing it's own files, each client would have to delete it's own
filespaces. My suggestion: Modify the domain's policies to age out the
old files, and they should go away after a while, since hopefully they
are being deleted off of the clients workstations regularly. If you have
"Number of backup versions to keep | if client data is deleted" set to 0
for a couple of days, all of those files should be deleted. This would
also affect any other files in their file spaces, but changing it back
after a few days to keep 1 or however many you have it set to keep
should minimize any problems there. Feel free to email me if you have
any questions.
Good luck....
