This command will free storage space on the router/switch by rotating log files and proposing a list of files for deletion. On a QFabric system, you can delete debug files located on individual devices or on the entire QFabric system.
If logging is configured and being used, the dry-run option rotates the log files. In that case, the output displays the message “Currently rotating log files, please wait.” If no logging is currently under way, the output displays only a list of files to delete.
In addition, it is recommended to first execute the command with "dry-run" knob that will list files proposed for deletion (without deleting them). You can review the files if the listed files are not needed & then proceed further.
Note: Required privilege Level is maintenance as per below document to run > request system storage cleanup commands.
