SUSDB.mdf 1.3 GB of disk space

[sutra]

Hi

Some time ago I moved the WSUS content to another volume on the same
physical disk but have recently noticed the database file SUSDB.mdf is
taking up 1.3 GB of my system partition and I would like to know why
it is so large and if I can reduce this size?

Thanks

Cammy

Decline Updates and use wsusutil. The wsusutil command-line utility is
used in managing WSUS servers and is located in the
WSUSInstallDir\Tools folder of WSUS servers.
