Hello Alan,

If you do not want to delete spool files that hasn't been printed it should
be safe to delete only those having the status SAV. There are a number of
intermediate statuses but eventually a spool file - that has been printed -
will end up as either SAV (saved) or FIN (finished and deleted).

Best regards,
Carsten Flensburg
