It is a development request to the extent that this may be a "bug by design"; what is supposed to happen to the tmp files? Are people who may not be system admin gurus supposed to know that these files accumulate, and what to do with them?

Hi all,

I'm working with Drupal for several months, and today I'v noticed that in
the "Tmp" directory (which holds the files till the uploading process
complete),
There are several "old" files.
As I understand this phenomenon, these files are files that their
upload-process wasn't completed successfully ,
And from some reason they were forgotten in the temporary library… even cron
run didn't delete them.

Is there any built-in way to get rid of that unnecessary files?


This isn't a development request see: http://drupal.org/support.

Use a cron script to remove the files in /tmp.  Typically this is accomplished using the find command.
