cagefs-skeleton High disk usage

Hello,

I found that my /usr/share/cagefs-skeleton file is consuming 170 GB Disk space on a server.

And /var/lib/mysql is currently using 152 GB.

Is it normal? Can we clean up the /usr/share/cagefs-skeleton file?

  Hey there!  This comes up frequently and there are two critically important things to know:

  -the cagefs-skeleton directory doesn't take up any space
  and
  -you can NOT remove any data from CageFS without causing damage to the server.

  More details on what CageFS is can be found here:

  https://docs.cloudlinux.com/legacy/cloudlinux_os_components/#cagefs

  The only thing you may want to change is how often it purges the tmp files, which can be adjusted using the details here: https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/articles/4407075781655-How-to-clean-up-CageFS-tmp-files
