Hi Rob,
I checked on my LPARs and don't have this "instancecache" subdirectory under my home directory. I did find a support doc related to this:
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/esa-what-instancecache-directory-used
I'd probably have done the same thing that you did. One side note about the IFS_OBJECT_STATISTICS() table function, there is a distinction between "accessed" and "used":
--ACCESS_TIMESTAMP = The time that the object's data was last accessed.
--LAST_USED_TIMESTAMP = The date the object was last used. This includes when a file was saved

Apparently the image vaporized.
I cleared the top two with
del '/home/ROB/instancecache/relationships/*'
del '/home/ROB/instancecache/resources/*'

I used the example in Run SQL Scripts for description: Summarize the object counts at each directory level
The three directories with the greatest number of object counts are:
Quite a large number of files in those directories.
Unlike most disposable directories, (if they are disposable), IBM marked the first two Can be saved . . . . . . . . . . . . . : Yes.
All of the files in there are all dated 06/15/15.
It's discussed in here: https://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/201403/msg00658.html
Since then, we've upgraded a few models. We've done a few unload/reloads.
I think I'll blast the data.
