Disk Space Management

Sites with full SBGrid installations (all titles / all versions) require significant disk space. Site administrators can free up disk space by removing titles that are no longer needed or in use.

To decide which titles to remove, check how much disk space is in use, identify titles that are no longer needed, and remove them.

If you’re unsure which titles are still in use, email bugs@sbgrid.org with the output of sbinfo and request a site report.

Installed Titles

You can get a list of currently installed titles and their disk use with the command:

sbgrid-cli installed

This can help you decide which titles take up the most space.

Remove Titles

Once you have detemermined which titles can be removed, use the sbgrid-cli command 'remove'. For example, to remove pymol:

$ sbgrid-cli remove pymol

This will remove all versions of pymol. To remove only specific versions use the @ specifier:

$ sbgrid-cli remove pymol@2.5.10

You can provide more than one title as arguments to the remove command:

$ sbgrid-cli remove vmd pymol tomotools
