many files in temp folder of install directory

Hi,

i've tons (2GB) of files like "attachment-3745204208356821348.tmp  attachment-6530018798180249981.tmp  attachment-987567489211104383.tmp" in the temp folder of the install dir (/opt/confluence/temp)!

I dit restart confluence, ran the scheduled cleanup jobs, but the files are sticky.

How do i get rid of them?

 

Thanks in advance!

You don't.  If you find they are being recreated by Confluence after deletion, then it's because Confluence needs them for some reason.  No harm in deleting them (when Confluence is offline), but it's creating them because it needs to.

You could see if increasing memory reduces the volume, but that's about the only thing you can do about it (other than stop using attachments which need to create temporary files)
