Over time with an SVN enabled Zeenyx AscentialTest, the size of the project folder will increase along with the amount of SVN activity (commit, revert, etc.). The size increase is typically found in the hidden
.svn directory within each AscentialTest project. Deleting the
.svn to free space will break the SVN repository connection which is not advisable. Performing a fresh project checkout is an option but it can be confusing if you forget to delete the original project directory and have two directories with the same project.
Fortunately, there is an easier and safer way to free up disk space. The steps below will recursively cleanup the project's SVN working copy.
- Commit all local changes to SVN repository
- Execute the following in a Command Prompt window. Replace <directory> with the path to the Zeenyx AscentialTest project to be cleaned.
Code: Select all
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Zeenyx\AscentialTest\SVN\svn.exe" cleanup <directory>
The above command uses cleanup option built in the SVN executable. More information on this option can be found
here.
From experience, performing the above steps has reduced the size of a local copy of the project, which had been in use for some time, by more than 50%.
