Q: OS X Server Mountain Lion: Place of Software Update Files on HDD?
Does anybody know where Mountain Lion OS X Server is saving the update files for his workstation-clients? I could not delete the files via the Server App. I've removed the files in "Library/Server/Software Updates" but I'm still missing 20 GB on my hdd space. Thank you!
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Software update storage
Software updates are stored in the /Library/Server/Software Update/Data/ folder and can easily take a large amount of disk space over time and cause problems with system resources. In a production environment, it is important to prevent the system disk from becoming full and causing instability.
To eliminate the possibility of software updates filling a volume, system administrators normally limit the type of data being stored on the startup volume and place data that could grow substantially in size on other volumes. For example, you could use a RAID volume to store software updates.
