Solved: Reduce size of NW AS ABAP Trial

Former Member · ‎03-27-2018

After the installation of SAP NW AS ABAP Trial 7.51 on a openSuse-VM, the hole VM has a size of about 80GB. Is it possible, to make the VM smaller?

I looked at my installation and mine only occupies around 58GB of disk space (see screenshot).

Anyway, if you're running VMWare Player - there should be a "Compact disk" button that you can try to see if it'll help to reduce the size of your VM - and you can install a program called BleachBit to clear some temporary / log files that are no longer required. I saved about 200MB from my disk after running BleachBit.

Also, past experience tells me to never run SGEN on these trial systems because the last time I tried to pull off a full SGEN, the entire disk increased by 15GB (if I recall correctly).
