Free up space on storage

Hello Alessio,

Thank you for the question.

The Perforce obliterate command is the correct action to clear up disk space.

I recommend making sure you are using the command correctly.

“p4 obliterate filename” does not actually destroy the file and its metadata. It just shows you what will happen. “p4 obliterate -y filename” is the correct command to permanently delete the file and its metadata.

I also recommend using Elastic Block Store (EBS) for block storage attached to an EC2 allows you to change volume size (disk size) and volume type (disk type) dynamically.

I hope this solves your issue. I have attached a documentation with some general good practices with Perforce.
