Many -cpanelsync files in /usr/local/cpanel/bin - Should I delete them?

We have one cpanel server that is getting old, and there isn't enough space on /usr to upgrade. I've noticed that in /usr/local/cpanel/bin there are several scripts that appear to be duplicates with -cpanelsync appended to the name of the file. These files take up 820MB which is a lot of space on this machine. There are 49 of these files in all. Is it safe to delete these apparent duplicates? Here is a partial list of those files:
-rwx------ 1 root root 12390366 Jul 8 22:34 update_quota_cache* -rwx------ 1 root root 12390760 Jul 1 05:00 update_quota_cache-cpanelsync* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11503 Feb 9 2015 update-roundcube* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7440 Feb 9 2015 update-roundcube-sqlite* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8499 May 27 11:01 update-squirrelmail* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Apr 7 2014 useradmin -> admin/Cpanel/user* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 28696 Jun 17 19:07 userdata_update* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Apr 7 2014 userwrap -> cpwrap* -rwx------ 1 root root 14504011 Jul 9 00:05 view_transfer* -rwx------ 1 root root 14503571 Jul 1 06:52 view_transfer-cpanelsync* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12242859 Jul 9 00:01 whm_xfer_download-ssl* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12242515 Jul 1 05:07 whm_xfer_download-ssl-cpanelsync* -rwx------ 1 root root 54061347 Jul 9 00:33 wwwacct* -rwx------ 1 root root 54030083 Jul 1 08:55 wwwacct-cpanelsync*

  Hello :) It's possible a previous cPanel update failed during the synchronization process and those files were leftover. You can safely remove those files (ending in -cpanelsync) from your system. Thank you.

  Thank you so much! We are almost ready to move to a new clean server, but this has saved us from running out of space while we finalize the move.
