In the production environment,
I have many files in the …/_lib/tmp folder that are taking up space.
They appear to be the result of opening PDFs or creating Excel files that are then downloaded.
Can I delete them?
I have in the past cleared the folder and have not had a any problems.
seeing that it is a tmp folder, I would image that it should be automatically be cleared. Not sure how
Files generated during HTML-to-PDF conversion, temporary image uploads, and so on, all go into the tmp folder.
There is no issue with deleting the contents of /_lib/tmp, provided no users are currently accessing any of the files.
What I do on my server is point the production environment’s tmp folder to the Linux system’s /tmp directory. I have a daily cron job set up to delete everything in /tmp from the previous day.
