    That's a very courageous attempt on a Friday.  I hope you understood the implications of the cleanup and the server is not mission critical. How much space did you reclaim from that?

    None, but now you're scaring me. It failed with that error, and I think it did nothing, certainly no space was reclaimed

    If  that folder is not taking up large amount of space (say, less than 5GB), I suggest you leave it alone for now and run the queries I provided and post some details. Based on the results, we could provide additional suggestions. Without seeing the system we can only guess what might be taking up space.
