Until then, they suggest that you be very careful removing any of these and make sure you do not remove the current one in use and keep something like 5 to 10 older ones. Otherwise, it is safe to remove the old ones.</P> Fri, 13 Nov 2015 22:14:22 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Can-I-safely-remove-old-cluster-remote-bundle-directories-to/m-p/216959#M8095 datajock 2015-11-13T22:14:22Z Re: Can I safely remove old cluster remote-bundle directories to free up disk space? https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Can-I-safely-remove-old-cluster-remote-bundle-directories-to/m-p/216960#M8096 <P>I am also facing the same issue in Splunk 6.2.3.
