+1Hi All,
I would like to know how customers are managing the unused powerpacks in their environments , because the recommendation is to delete the unused powerpacks because it will create some load during nightly discovery process .
In case if we delete those packs also after upgrade it re-appears into stacks. There is any plans to avoid this?

I hope other users jump in to share what they do here, but I'd like to clarify that PowerPacks are not automatically upgraded/installed during SL1 version updates. The new files are loaded or "imported" and will appear when you click "install powerpack" in the list of imported PowerPacks.
Imported = Files on SL1 ready to install
Install = Files used to create/update DAs, Event Policies, credentials, dashboards, and other PowerPack-able objects on the SL1 system.
The "update" field in the PowerPack list indicates when a newer version is imported and ready to install.

We export the powerpacks and then delete them. Upgrade them in a dev environment fix any known bugs we know about (like time not handled correctly). Then export and import into production.
