Hi Michel,

It shouldn't be a problem.

Those are automatic backups and exports.

best regards,

Use the OS to look at the size, and then delete it.

Assuming that is the Jira home directory, then yes - the files in there are created by the regular backups, or by an admin saying "export". If you don't need them because you have more recent copies and/or a database backup, they are safe to remove.
