Henk, Possibly I am missing something here but in order to overcome the orphan files effect can we not simply delete the contents of the CS course and personal folder before deleteing courses or people. Can this be automated via a snapshot process? thanks, Arthur Loughran >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dr. Arthur J.

More information you can find here: http://kb.princeton.edu/9277 We've disabled the course content feature in CS as well, indeed because of the poor integration between CS and LS. Once a course has been removed from LS the according folder in CS isn't visible anymore, but all content is still on the server. We have noticed that the same is valid for user content as well: when a user has been removed from the system, the folder isn't visible anymore, but it still remains on the server. Be careful for this when you recycle usernames.
