Should /cache/tmp be flushed every now and then?

[Clickfinity]

I've noticed some gzipped files in there that are months old - are they still required, or can /cache/tmp be flushed once in a while?

Cheers,

These files are still there and the directory is now up to 56MB and growing - any advice on whether the older data is needed?

Thanks,
Shaun :D

I don't think a server has such locations or do you mean each folder.

If you vi to the /tmp section, You can remove all except the mysql, Try do it on non peak hours as it will cause the users to logout on removal of the session files :P

Sorry, I should have been more explicit: This is at the root of my IP.Board install - /cache/tmp

It contains a daily temp file along with it's gzipped counterpart and also the sql error logs (I think - not at my server console right now).

Cheers,

Yep, you can delete them:

Yeah, sorry about that - I was hanging about is SMRO a great deal at the time, optimising my server/install.

Sounds like a plan. :)

I'll probably set up a cron job to remove them once per week or somesuch.

Thanks guys,

I've never deleted them, and good god. They do take up a lot of space, but they don't bother me being there.

So I'm going to keep em.
