Summary :
The SAP Note outlines the procedure and conditions for managing the automatic and manual deletion of the statistics file in SAP systems. It describes that the statistics file (used for performance monitoring and workload analysis) gets automatically deleted if its first record is over seven days old at system start, or a new year has commenced in between stop and start. Additionally, when using scheduled background jobs like 'COLLECTOR_FOR_PERFORMANCEMONITOR', the file is deleted when reaching maximum size, given that all data has been processed. Manual deletion methods through transaction ST03 are detailed, including conditions where statistics files, despite being marked for deletion, continue to grow and require manual intervention. Adjustments to deletion thresholds and job schedules can be made to optimize file handling.
