Purge Utility:
- Utilities provide valuable services for maintaining various aspects of SAP Information Steward.
- In SAP Information Steward, purge utilities refer to tools or processes used to delete or remove obsolete or unnecessary data—such as logs or temporary files—in order to optimize system performance and manage storage efficiently.

- Deletes profile results, scores, and sample data that exceed the configured retention period.
- Deletes match review tasks that exceed the configured retention period.

- Deletes logically deleted information, including sample data for profiling and rule tasks.
- The disk space in the Information Steward repository can be increased through regular purging.
