About temporary files generated by the server

Hello,
In the server /tmp/ directory where I installed RMS, I found some temporary files, whether I could delete them, or specify a directory to store them。
My RMS is installed in /usr/local/rapidminer/ , But I'm executing the installation command in the /tmp/ directory,
These files were generated in the /tmp/ directory, affecting me to upload other temporary files。



Will it affect the normal operation of RMS if I delete these files?
And how do I assign it a storage directory?

Best,
LiuWenlong

    Hello,

    If you are not running a RapidMiner Server process, you can delete those files safely. That's why they are temporary.

    However, if you are running a process, you may want to stop. RapidMiner itself doesn't generate these files, as far as I can recall. (I may be wrong, though).

    All the best,

    Rod.

    Thanks @rfuentealba
    I've deleted those files, but I'm not sure there's going to be a problem.Let me see if these files will be generated again.

    All the best,

    These are definitely not from RM Server. You can delete them, but it's probably a waste of time. Linux generates hundreds of tmp files in a given session

    @SGolbert Yes, they do look like they're linux-generated, not RM servers.
