Hello,

If you don't have the space needed to store the dump, you won't have the 
space to perform the dump !
I'd rather not delete it as I don't want anyone on the server to believe 
there is too much free space on it.

I do the same thing on servers where dumping a database is needed. That 
space is not really free, so I prefer and use it that letting other 
users crash my backup jobs by filling disks.

Just my personal way to ensure I have enough space to perform my 
database backups...
