So those graphs showing the filenames are near full. isn't actually true? as the filenames will just grow as needed, because if thats teh case i can abort this job.

This is correct
==================
i asked this of HP and they've not been too helpful with that either, they just says sometimes this can take several hours or even days!!!

This is also correct, although you can make a VERY rough approximatio9n of the amount of time ti will take by running a report
omnirpt -report db_purge_preview
This is brken down by hostname. What some people with a limited amoutn of time will do, instead of trying to purge all the filenames at once, purge them by hostname
omnidbutil -purge -filenames [hostname] -force Do not include the [ ] marks
You can have 1 or more hostnames listed
