I am having a problem with ClamAV.

It is working great in combination with MailScanner, so no problem there.

It is on RH4U5 server.

BUT

It is filling up /usr/local/share/clamav folder with subfolders like this :

drwxr-xr-x  2 clamav clamav     4096 Apr 13 20:14
clamav-ff1b8054ca4da18830a21a1d1926faea

drwxr-xr-x  2 clamav clamav     4096 Apr 13 02:33
clamav-ff308f1b0172692d11d8fcfc10acfbff

drwxr-xr-x  2 clamav clamav     4096 Apr  4 06:18
clamav-ff6e299d847b7d8c0431e2171761f588

drwxr-xr-x  2 clamav clamav     4096 Apr 23 07:01
clamav-ff97ffcfe89c09096003ac3934f2418a

drwxr-xr-x  2 clamav clamav     4096 Mar  6 02:54
clamav-fffa3aecbc960a3e99a66058a18e6c3d

 

Also in the same folder are files :

-rw-r--r--  1 clamav clamav   974848 Feb 26 14:42 daily.cld

-rw-r--r--  1 clamav clamav 44391424 Feb 18 12:22 main.cld

-rw-------  1 clamav clamav      104 Apr 29 10:55 mirrors.dat

 

In each of the subfolders is something like this :

-rw-r--r--  1 clamav clamav   17992 Feb  5 23:27 COPYING

-rw-r--r--  1 clamav clamav     214 Feb  5 23:27 daily.cfg

-rw-r--r--  1 clamav clamav   25954 Feb  5 23:27 daily.db

-rw-r--r--  1 clamav clamav    5554 Feb  5 23:27 daily.fp

-rw-r--r--  1 clamav clamav    5904 Feb  5 23:27 daily.ftm

-rw-r--r--  1 clamav clamav   14296 Feb  5 23:27 daily.hdb

-rw-r--r--  1 clamav clamav    1098 Feb  5 23:27 daily.hdu

-rw-r--r--  1 clamav clamav     762 Feb  5 23:27 daily.ign

-rw-r--r--  1 clamav clamav     713 Feb  5 23:27 daily.info

-rw-r--r--  1 clamav clamav     320 Feb  5 23:27 daily.ldb

-rw-r--r--  1 clamav clamav 4188187 Feb  5 23:27 daily.mdb

-rw-r--r--  1 clamav clamav   26056 Feb  5 23:27 daily.mdu

-rw-r--r--  1 clamav clamav  272178 Feb  5 23:27 daily.ndb

-rw-r--r--  1 clamav clamav    5179 Feb  5 23:27 daily.ndu

-rw-r--r--  1 clamav clamav    3372 Feb  5 23:27 daily.pdb

-rw-r--r--  1 clamav clamav    2088 Feb  5 23:27 daily.wdb

-rw-r--r--  1 clamav clamav    3450 Feb  5 23:27 daily.zmd

 

The problem is that my /usr partition is 90% full, and this folder is taking
up 4,8Gb of space.

So my question is : can I delete some of it (there are over 1000
subfolders), or should I move it to another place? Does ClamAV need this to
operate as it should? WHAT are thise things? My guess is some sort of
updates to AV database (so can I remove old ones?).
