Does Portal have anything that automatically cleans up the temp folder once in a while?

I see that it is using >18 GB to hold temporary files (likely from routine WebGIS DR restores).

If there isn't an automated solution, then when is it safe to delete the files in the temp folder? Can I delete all the tmp-portal-unzip folders every time WebGIS DR finishes restoring a backup?

Hi @ZianChoy,

 

These "tmp-portal-unzip" files are left over from importing a webgisdr restore into your Portal, and can be safely removed after the restore succeeds. I am not aware of an automatic process that clears these out.

Thanks for the tip. I've also taken to cleaning out the "tmp-ags-site" folders inside C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server\framework\runtime\tomcat\temp\ for the same reason.
