Symptoms
When installing live updates of either Browser Challenges (ASM) or Anti-Fraud (FPS), the update file remains in the system, taking up disk space and increasing config sync size.
Impact
Increased disk size, config size, and config-sync size.
Conditions
Installing Live Update files of either Browser Challenges (part of ASM) or Anti-Fraud (part of FPS).
Workaround
It is possible to manually clean up old, unused Live Update files using TMSH or REST:
tmsh delete security datasync update-file datasync-global/<file>
Important: Use caution, as deleting update-files that are in use could cause the system to go offline or get out of sync. The in-use update files can be observed under the GENERATION PROFILES section of the /var/log/datasyncd.log file.
Note: There is no auto-completion on the 'update-file' keyword.
Behavior Change
Old, unused Live Update files of Browser Challenges and Anti-Fraud files are now cleaned up automatically, no longer requiring manual removal.
