Have you considered simplifying your life by simply adding enough disk not to have to worry about it? They're cheap these days.

Please start a new thread instead of resurrecting one 10 years old.

If you are going to declare something static, you have to really want it to always be there ... and for it to remain "static", i.e., unchanging.

All of which only emphasizes that the performance issues which motivated this delete process almost certainly can be addressed by proper updating and tuning so that actual deletion will be unnecessary unless there is a business case for it ... which has not been stated.
