Re: Rational Updater - from bad to worse

Joe,

Not much help, but I believe I've used the cleanup button you're talking
about without ill effect.

One of the IBM'ers here mentioned it as a way to reclaim some disk space
a few weeks ago.

I got back something like 4GB when I hit it and have not noticed any
problems.
