tmp/ folder directory using large space
I have recieved a email from the host today that my plan is nearing 300,000 of max files. I checked my host after logging in and found that the /home/myusername/tmp/ folder has suddenly caused a gigantic amount of disk usage which I don't recall before. Compared to all my other directories in the File Manager, nothing compares to this folder and don't understand why it is so big all of a sudden? Why is it doing this? One file for example which is over 3.2GB is Cpanel_Form_file.upload.2bfa5c60 I don't know which files I can remove without causing issues on my server. Please which if these files can i remove without causeing any issues. thank you

Do you have a form on your website where files could be attached as well? This could be a culprit.

Thank you for your response. There is no form, the website is a blog posting website

Those look like temporary files from the cPanel >> File Manager tool, and are safe to remove.
