And is the system also the primary site server?

Answer 2

Hi @Boopathi Subramaniam ,

The user account that runs the tool must have permissions the same as the Full Administrator security role in Configuration Manager. Please check if the account has the permission.

Use the content library cleanup command-line tool to remove content that's no longer associated with an object on a distribution point. This type of content is called orphaned content. This tool replaces older versions of similar tools released for past Configuration Manager products.

Here is the article about Content library cleanup tool, please refer to it:
