title: TFS database growing with builds
body: <p>We have a TFS 2013 server providing source control and build services. We recently turned on automated builds for our projects and we are finding that the database is growing very quickly with each build. </p>
  
  <p>I understand that this version of TFS has added the option to output builds to the TFS server, in an un-version controlled location (<a href="http://nakedalm.com/new-un-versioned-repository-in-tfs-2012/" rel="nofollow">http://nakedalm.com/new-un-versioned-repository-in-tfs-2012/</a>)</p>
  
  <p>We are only keeping the last two succesful builds, but it seems when we delete old builds we don't actually recover any space. I've been looking into it and it seems there is a destroy command I can use to delete old builds from the database, but I cannot find anything that mentions this injunction with the new TFS drop location.</p>
  
  <p>Our builds were also applying labels, but I'm not sure if labels actually require any space, and whether that space is reclaimed after you delete an old label?</p>
  
  <p>Is anyone able to point me in the right direction for this? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
