These big files are progress temp files. I have them cleared them out with a scheduled task that runs a script upon boot.
Iāve just deleted 10 big āDBI prefixedā filesā¦nobody has had a āwibbly wobbly fitā as yet!
System seems fine.
Iāll keep you posted.
Iāll next try the āRCDA prefixedā filesā¦
UPDATE:
So far, so goodā¦there was no impact on deleting the 10 āDBIā¦ā files, so Iāve deleted a further 14 of the bigger ones.
If there is no impact at all, iāll delete all of the DBI filesā¦(i know it all seems a bit hit and miss, but the link Greg Payne attached gave me a bit more confidence in doing it this approach).
Does anyone know anything about RCDA prefixed files?..these are big in size too, can they be deleted?)
Probably good to clear them, but I always cleared out the temp folder by
age. Anything over a month was cleared, except for a few logs that for
end-of-month processes Iād keep longer.
UPDATE
This morning, i decided to bite the bullet on the rest of the DBI prefixed filesā¦there are now only Jan/Feb 2017 ones left and these canāt be deleted as an error appears saying they are being used by another user.
Iām good with thatā¦and i can review them again in a week or so.
Thatās enough bravery for this week, next week iāll try a different file type, left are:
bfca prefixed
ibia prefixed
ibib prefixed
ibic prefixed
ibid prefixed
rcda prefixed
rcdb prefixed
rcdc prefixed
srta prefixed
srtb prefixed
srtc prefixed
srtd prefixed
Just found this too:
UPDATE
RCDA
RCDB
RCDC
RCDD
SRTA
SRTB
SRTC
SRTD
IBIA
IBIB
IBIC
IBID
above prefixed files now deleted tooā¦apart from the ones that couldnāt be deleted due to them currently being active.
