Hi
can content of /usr/openv/db/staging be deleted manually when no catalog backup is in progress. if it get deleted will it effect any thing like next catalog backup.
You can delete the contents yes (don't delete the staging directory though), the database copy will get recreated in here at the next catalog backup
Why would you need to delete this?
The size is so small that it should not make a difference on space consumption.
Its size is somewhat 4 Gb +, facing space crunch in /opt FS.
Images are stored on another mount point.

It'll just get used next time you do a catalog backup. How big is your /opt filesystem? Perhaps there are other files lingering around that don't need to be?
It is approx 20 Gb, and openv is of 16 Gb, staging is acquiring almost 4gb +.
I am concenrened if i will make /usr/openv/db/staging directory empty, what it will effect ?
It will not affect anything. Staging is used when you do a catalog backup. It makes a copy of your database and database conf files there and backs them up from there instead of using the live database location.
Seems you found the answer in your duplicate post:
