Important

This health analyzer rule only applies to SharePoint 2010 as this was removed in KB4011601 for SharePoint Server 2013 and KB4011576 for SharePoint Server 2016.

Rule Name: Database has large amounts of unused space.

Summary: The database has large amounts of unused space allocated on the disk. This database uses a large amount of space on the file system unless it's shrunk down to a small size. This event occurs if the unused space is more than 20% of the disk space and the unused space is greater than the autogrowth size plus 50 megabytes (MB).

Cause: Many activities can create unused space in the database. These activities include running the Windows PowerShell Move-SPSite command, and deleting documents, document libraries, lists, list items, and sites.

Resolution: Ignore this event, or shrink the database if you have to.
