Deleting Contents Within Temp Folder?

[DRE]

Can I delete everything within in the temp folder in data and internal_data?

If I go above my forum root, deleting everything from my tmp folder doesn't do anything but help me save memory.

Is it the same deal within the Xenforo installation?

To the best of my knowledge and from my experience so far..... YES.

I have deleted the contents of the temp folder in both and thus far have not seen any issue.

If in doubt, backup first though.

Why doesn't xenforo delete these temp files automatically?

I don't have anything in there, I did not even know we suppose to have a /data/temp directory?

[root@chronos ~]# ls -lah /var/www/xenforo/data/

It might be related to caching files locally? I use Memcached to cache everything related to XenForo.

We're memcached as well. Hmm - probably server weirdness.
