Remove-MemoryDump
The Remove-MemoryDump PowerShell cmdlet is a specialized maintenance utility used to delete diagnostic memory dump files from NCache server nodes. Memory dumps (generated via the Get-MemoryDump tool) are vital for deep-dive troubleshooting and crash analysis, but they consume significant disk space. Once diagnostic analysis is complete, administrators use this command to free up storage resources and maintain system hygiene without needing manual file-system access. This cmdlet ensures that sensitive diagnostic data is removed securely and efficiently across both Windows and Linux environments.
Remove-MemoryDump -Server -FileName [-Port] [-Credentials] [-NoLogo]
