Using the Delete Kept Media Tool
The Delete Kept Media tool is used to automatically delete the assets and media in the Orphan
Clips\Kept Media folder. The file name of the tool is
delete_kept_media.exe
and it is
installed by default on the Interplay Engine in the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Avid\Avid Interplay Engine\Server
For a cluster engine, you need to execute this tool directly on the online node. You should run
this tool during off hours because it deletes as quickly as possible and therefore puts extra load
on the Interplay Engine, ISIS shared storage system, and Media Indexer.
The syntax of the tool is described in the following in-line help:
***********************************************************************
delete_kept_media - Deletes assets in Kept Media folder.
delete_kept_media [user:] [psw:] [proj:] [maxAssets:] [maxTime:]
This tool automates the deletion of assets (including media) that were moved
to the Kept Media folder by scheduled deletion.
Options:
user:<user name> Name of the user to logon to AvidWG with
psw:<password> Password of the user to logon to AvidWG with
proj:<database name> (optional) The name of the database (AvidWG or
AvidAM). If the parameter is omitted "AvidWG" is assumed.
maxAssets:<number>(optional) Maximum number of assets to delete
maxTime:<minutes> (optional) Maximum run time in minutes; tool will stop
deletion when this period is exceeded
The maxAssets: and maxTime: options are useful if this tool is run as a
scheduled task, e.g. using Windows Task Scheduler.
