Hi Keith

Thanks.  I've taken a copy as 'Root' into my /home/copyvartmp folder; had to enter each folder a root.  It took a long time to copy the 267538 files! When done will delete and see what happens but what's putting them in there? And how can I stop it happening or doing an auto delete?
Still waiting si will look at other comments from DLUG now.

I suspect you mean '/var/tmp'

You're unlikely to need anything in there. Take a look first, but probably
safe to delete.

If you want to take a copy just in case, you could copy to somewhere on
/home (but delete it later if you don't need it).
