LANDesk Security Suite downloads patches that it needs by default, but it doesn't delete them when the need is no longer there. That's fine if you've got a ton of space on your server, but it's a pain for those of us rocking lesser hardware. This utility will delete patches that are no longer associated with detected vulnerabilities, and which have not been accessed in X days or more.

It just deletes from ldlogon\patch; I assume that if you're storing elsewhere it's because elsewhere has lots of space :)

Download here: ldms_patch_purge. The manual is available here.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This tool has been merged into ldms_core and will not be maintained separately (by me, at least) from this point forward.
