Isn't /var/cache/yum only used by yum? That is the cache for the machine itself 
and is not used by spacewalk-server.
This cache can be cleaned up by "yum clean all". More details are in "man yum".

The packages of spacewalk-server are in /var/satellite (or whatever you have as 
mount_point in /etc/rhn/rhn.conf). 
spacewalk-data-fsck will remove unneeded packages at this location.

[Spacewalk-list] Old spacewalk-channels in /var/cache/yum

[Matthias Gruber]

Hi!

I just noticed, that I have several of my spacewalk-channels have left in 
/var/cache/yum which are eating up space, even if they are removed from 
spacewalk.

We are generating monthly errata-channels to keep several states of 
patched systems, e.g . clone-centos-server-02_2017; 
clone-centos-server-03_2017 and so on.
We are checking, that no system is subscribed to those channels we are 
deleting from spacewalk.
If I look into /var/yum/cache/ I still see those channels with several 
hundred MB/Mo 

Is there a way in SpaceWalk to remove them, well yes scheduled Command and 
a simple rm -rf ... but it seems not a correct way.
I thought if I unsubscribe a system from a channel all orccurences are 
removed, even /var/cached stuff, but it doesnt seems like

Any clues for me, or is that a expected behaviour, but in that case I have 
"hundreds" of Directories over the years

cheers
Matthias
