Purging the metadata repository removes the deleted metadata objects from the repository.

However as the metadata repository is physically stored in SAS Datasets, you haven’t actually reduced the size of the metadata repository disk storage. To do this you have to run the %OMABAKUP macro with the reorg=yes option.

I have created a three part article that outlines how to do each step (well it has two parts for now as I am still working on part three and will blog it when I have finished)
