Just preparing to apply the July RU, and wondering about the $ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage directory. It is a few GB and this server has several Oracle Homes installed. I could use the disc space.
According to
opatch util cleanup -help
I can do a cleanup and will still be able to rollback patches afterwards. This is important not because I want to roll back any patches myself, but because applying the OJVM RU does rollback the previous OJVM RU. So presumably it needs the .patch_storage information.
Has anyone done this cleanup, and can confirm that there were no issues later?
Thank you for any insight.

Thanks for replying, I haven't tried it yet. I do have enough space to squeeze through applying the July RU. When I've done that I'll do the test on one Oracle Home: zip up and copy the directory, run the cleanup, and then see if I can still uninstall the RU.
