The Office 365 solution in Operations Management Suite (OMS) allows you to monitor your Office 365 environment in Log Analytics. Like with any solution that you setup in OMS you have to think of the data retention time.

At present the maximum retention time can be set to two years, but this of course will affect your Azure billing. In today’s blog post I walk you through a possible solution how to backup just a subset of data into a custom log. The idea is that you can keep the retention period for the large amount of data low and only keep the data that is important for you for a longer period. The solution uses Azure Log Analytics and Azure Logic App Services.

For the Windows Vista Service Packs there was vsp1cln.exe (SP1) and compcln.exe (SP2) to cleanup the backup files created during the Service Pack installation. For Windows 7 Microsoft did not provide a separate cleanup tool, but instead leverages the windows-build-in DISM tool.

To remove the backup files created during the Windows 7 Service Pack 1 installation run the following command from an elevated command prompt.

dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /spsuperseded

After successful completion you should get some disk space back.
