My /ojs-files directory sizes 30Gb and my /ojs-files/temp directory is 13Gb. Is it safe to delete all the files in the temp folder? Half directory is wasted by temp files.
I think that the forms to upload files remove files from here when they are submitted but obviously some thing is not working as expected.
My team uses xml import/export native module. Can this be a bug in this module?
Can I delete all this files with cron for files older? Is it safe?
Thank you.
OJS 3.3.0-13
After some tests, I confirm the problem is with the xml import/export native module.
The file uploaded to be imported (previously exported from other journal) is stored in /ojs-files/temp and when you perform the “import” all the binary embed files are deployed in the temp folder. When the import operation finish the files are NOT deleted.
I believe I can safely delete those files.
@asmecher, is this the expected behavior? Should I open an issue?
Anybody can confirm me if it is safe to remove old files in /ojs-files/temp?
Thank you.

Temporary files are used to stage changes before they are applied.
