Hi,

Thanks for posting in Microsoft MECM Q&A forum.

Yes, you can. The folder should self clean after 30 days, but you can manually remove the files if desired. They are there only to aid in troubleshooting.

BGB.box is a ConfigMgr current branch only folder. ConfigMgr Notification server on the management point computer will accept the client’s connection request, thus notification server will manage all active connections and generate online status data every 5 minutes to be placed in <Installation Directory>\inboxes\bgb.box\ on the site server.

For more information, please refer to: Clean-up your inboxes!

Hope it helps. Thanks for your time.

Best regards,
Simon

HI Simon,
Thanks for replying!
Can I directly delete the .bld or .bos files? Or just delete the .bld? I think the link is under the bad folder. Is it no longer in the bad folder after 1802?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Per my experience, we can safely delete both .bld and .bos files.

Best regards,
Simon

Keep in mind though that deleting the files is just addressing the symptom and not the cause and so files may build up again. You need to review the server side logs for client notification (aka BGB): bgbserver.log and bgbmgr.log.
