<p>The tmp folder is used to store files which should be deleted
automatically after the process that created them finishes, but
that doesn't always happen. On the system I run, it has grown to
0.4G in four years, mostly files created during indexing. Some
files are also written there during startup.</p>
<p>So you should be able to stop the ArchivesSpace service, delete
everything inside the tmp folder, then restart, although I've
never done so myself. But first it would be worth investigating
when the bulk of the 9.4G was created. If it has built up over
time, the majority before the last restart, it is less of a
concern than if most of it is new.</p>

<div>Our ArchivesSpace UAT has run out of space, and the
information from our developer is : </div>
<div> </div>
<div style="padding-left:36pt;">The space is mainly being
taken up by temporary files created by the archivesspace app
itself, eg:</div>

<div style="padding-left:36pt;">antbrown@ccc-dhr-uat-as1:/opt/archivesspace3/data$
sudo -u archivesspace du -hs tmp</div>
<div style="padding-left:36pt;">9.4G tmp</div>
<div style="padding-left:36pt;"> </div>
<div style="padding-left:36pt;">Some of these files are used
for running the app and it's not obvious from

which are safe to delete.</div>
<div style="padding-left:36pt;">If you were able to post to
the mailing list asking which files are safe to delete in
the data/tmp directory, we could write a script to make sure
it's cleaned daily for example. </div>
<div style="padding-left:36pt;"> </div>
<div>Any suggestions which files are safe to delete in the
data/tmp directory?</div>
