My local symbol storage directory contains plenty of files which I'd like to erase (because I think they are unused) or move to a separate directory. I'm know that AgeStore and SymStore can be used to trim a symbol storage - but neither seems to support the use case of removing information for specific files from the symbol storage.

My local symbol storage looks something like

D:\Symbols\
  +-> 000Admin\
  +-> myownlibrary.pdb\
  |     +->123456789\
  |     +->abcdef\
  +-> vc60.pdb\
  |     +->123456789\
  |     +->abcdef\
  ...
  +-> ws2_32.pdb\
  |     +->123456789\
  |     +->abcdef\
  ...

Is it safe to just remove directories like vc60.pdb and everything beneath that altogether, or would that break fetching symbols/binaries from the symbol storage?

  • Define 'safe'. If you delete one PDB, you just lose those symbols. – david.pfx Mar 06 '14 at 13:31
  • @david.pfx 'safe' as in: deleting one `.pdb` subdirectory will not influence using invocations of, say, `symstore del` to remove everything which was added in a certain transaction. – Frerich Raabe Mar 06 '14 at 14:05
