SYMPTOMS
Page 213, Chapter 6, under the "Removing Collected Files from a Site" section, of the Systems Management Server 1.0 and 1.1 Administrator's guide states the following:

Using SMS Database Manager, you can remove both the record of the collected file in the site database and the collected file on the site server. For information about the SMS Database Manager, see the SMS Utilities Help file."

When you select "Delete Collected Files" in DBCLEAN, the files from the drive are not physically removed. It only deletes the pointers to them from the Systems Management Server database. In addition, a SMS Utilities Help file does not exist.



WORKAROUND
To remove the collected files, you must manually delete them from the site server. The collected files are stored in the following subdirectory:   SMS\site.srv\dataload.box\files.col\ \\



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.1. This problem has been corrected in Systems Management Server version 1.2.
