In Ambari 2.2.1 how can I delete old Ambari Server Ops History?
I think that the history of tasks is stored in /var/lib/ambari-agent/data.
Can I simply delete the folder contents?

Deleting whole "data" directory is not good. you might face the following kind of error. Because the "data" directory contains some files like "version" (which contains the agent version info),
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lib/ambari-agent/data/status_command.json' INFO 2016-11-30 10:08:54,666 StackVersionsFileHandler.py:107 - Creating stacks versions file at /var/lib/ambari-agent/data/current-stack ERROR 2016-11-30 10:08:54,666 StackVersionsFileHandler.py:48 - Can't read versions file:
However if you want to clean old actions then you can manually delete the following files from the "/var/lib/ambari-agent/data"
-> command-*.json
-> errors-*.txt
-> output-*.txt

Thanks. Yea I meant the contents (text files) not the directory. This makes sense. Thanks I will try that
