Problem Note 47304: SAS® Enterprise Guide® 5.1 creates temporary directories inside the SAS® WORK library that are not deleted by the Disk Cleanup Handler
 |  |  |  |  |
SAS Enterprise Guide 5.1 creates temporary directories inside the workspace server's SAS WORK library that are not removed by the Disk Cleanup Handler (or, in UNIX and z/OS environments, the cleanwork utility). The temporary directories are created under random 8-byte character names. After execution of the utility, these randomly-named directories (created by aborted SAS Enterprise Guide sessions) remain on the file system. No warning or error messages indicate that the directories were not removed.
