Removing the folders manually is certainly safe to do and is usually what I do when I need to. You can get dirvish-expire to do it for you, by editing the summary files. The man page <http://www.dirvish.org/dirvish-expire.8.html> explains how expired files are determined. > You could: > 1. rm -rf them > 2. set your system date to a future date and run dirvish-expire again. My personal opinion is that this is a very bad idea. Interfering with the system's dates could affect any number of other systems, depending on what you have installed. It's a pain anyway to turn off ntp etc etc. > 3. just get a bigger harddrive. I like this one :) Cheers, Dave _______________________________________________ Dirvish mailing list [email protected] http://www.dirvish.org/mailman/listinfo/dirvish
