We can check and delete files in temporary catalogs, if they have not been cleared automatically. There are many ways to do so, but the most efficient is to use a bash script and modify it to suit your needs. A good example of such a script is this one:

#!/bin/bash

find /xtm/webapps/generatedfiles -mindepth 1 -mtime +30 -delete > /dev/null 2>&1

find /xtm/xtm/temp -mindepth 1 -mtime +30 -delete > /dev/null 2>&1

find /xtm/xtm/nlpservice -mtime +7 -delete > /dev/null 2>&1

find /xtm/xtm/data/ -maxdepth 2 -name Download |xargs -n 1 -I D find D -ctime +7 -delete

find /xtm/xtm/data/ -maxdepth 2 -name temp |xargs -n 1 -I D find D -ctime +7 -delete

find /servers/cat/temp -mindepth 1 -mtime +1 -delete

find /servers/pm/temp -mindepth 1 -mtime +1 -delete

find /servers/spell/temp -mindepth 1 -mtime +1 -delete

exit 0

Note

IMPORTANT!

Bear in mind that the paths shown above are the standard installation paths for the XTM Cloud application. If you have different ones then edit it accordingly!

To create such a file, do as follows:

  1. Create a file: vim clean_temp_xtm.sh.

  2. Once in the program, press i and then paste the above content into the file.

  3. Press Esc and the combined keystroke :wq to save and quit.

  4. Add executable rights for a file: chmod +x clean_temp_xtm.sh;

  5. Run the script: ./clean_temp_xtm.sh.

  1. Lastly, we can delete archived or unused projects.

Note

IMPORTANT!

Only do so when you are sure that you will never need them again: when a project has been deleted, that cannot be undone!)

  • Go to /xtm/xtm/deleted/ or /xtm/xtm/archived (if you have a non-standard installation path, use your installation path(s) instead).

  • Inside this folder/those folders, you will find – the IDs of projects that have either been deleted or archived and you can choose which projects you can delete, if any.

Deleting database dumps

If you ever made some database dumps, there is a possibility that they were not deleted after the dump or restore.

Check your bash history to find out if some hints are there.
