How to freeup space in SYSAUX caused by AWR?

Hi ALL,

Happy New Year to ALL!!!

We have issues of ever increasing SYSAUX tablespace caused by AWR data.

Based on the report the object that eats a lot of space in AWR is SM/OPTSTAT and SM/ADVISOR.

How do I purge the two biggest space users above? Or how to drop and recreate them?

Which are their counterpart segments using the query below? or how to map them?

I already tried to drop and recreate the AWR metadata using:

SQL> connect / as sysdba
SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/catnoawr.sql
SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/catawrtb.sql

SQL> select dbid,min(snap_id),max(snap_id) from DBA_HIST_SNAPSHOT group by dbid;

no rows selected

But still the two objects (opstat & advisor) occupying large space in SYSAUX were not recreated and still hugging the space

Do all TABLESPACES have V$OCCUPANTS dictionary view like SYSAUX?

Please help....

Kind regards,
