It just does not do delta's between client and DP. never has and I doubt never will.
As soon as the content does not have a valid advertisement and 24 hours has passed it gets marked as tombstoned. you can alter the tombstone value (in 07) in the site control file (never tried in 12) when the cache is full it deletes the oldest tombstoned items first. in cm12 if you have it marked "Persist content in cache" (per package setting) then all bets are off. no idea if or when it ever marks it as tombstoned On Tue, May 6, 2014 at 3:15 PM, Jeremy Sihassen <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Bradley, > > the cache is managed entirely by SCCM. > Once cache provisioned space is reached then sccm agent deletes some old > cache to get enough space for the newly advertised one. > > I have no clue why the old cache is kept.
