==Here are some areas of the Integrated File System (IFS) you may wish to clean up on a periodic basis==
On some systems the IFS may be a very significant portion of your system.  The first tool to start with in determining if it is a significant portion of your IBM i is to run the pair of commands RTVDSKINF and PRTDSKINF.  A sample result may show you something like the following:  
::<code>
                                                 % of         Size in  
 Description                                     Disk     1,000,000 bytes

The portion of that which is IFS is the portion called "User directories".  On this system it is only 1.15%.  I have seem some systems like:
                                                % of         Size in    
Description                                     Disk     1,000,000 bytes
User libraries                                   .07           16375.86 
User directories                               71.76        16703615.24
