How to clear the character store?

Question

We run continuous integration builds from TFS and generate many character files that we store using symstore.exe (67 GB in the last year or so). How do other people clean their character files? Do you automate the process?

Answer 1

AgeStore can be used for this - you can run it periodically to remove characters from old daily builds that are no longer in use. However, you need to make sure that you archive your milestone or released assemblies that you need to keep longer, as AgeStore will also delete them.
