High Usage of Root Partition in PA-220 After upgradre to 10.1 version

[SubaMuthuram]

Hi Team,

After upgradation of PAN-OS 10.1.x version we are facing High Root Partition issue in our firewall. 

Even after manually clean the logs after 5 days it is back to high, Is there any particular reason the partition usage is high ?

Delete the older software packages in Device->Software.

Hello,

I would recommend going to 10.1.6.

Its average usage 90% to 92 %

As per paloalto its normal no any impact to device 

auto file cleaning system works better @95 %
