Hi People,

Does anyone know if it is safe to delete the files in C:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\data\inbox\log\traffic directory ? it is now sitting at 9 GB of over 28.000 files

why SEPM doing that ?

See here:

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH154417

If older timestamps than go ahead and delete. I've dealt with this before as well and removing had no impact.

What SEPM version?

are these files have .err extension?

if yes, those can be deleted.

See this thread and mithun comments

whatever is under inbox folder are from clients, these are then stored in DB

You might have set log all traffic, thats the reason the size is bigger.

Yes, its safe to delete those.

Check these

Changing the log settings to reduce the size of the database.

Yes it is older time stamp.

SEPM 12.1.3

What can cause this error to be logged ?

yes, it has .ERR extension. So can I delete them all ?

Try this

Using the "SymDelTmps" utility

Hi

Yes, you can safely delete

Report this to support team.

if SEPM is unable to process the dat file to the database , these .tmp files gets changed to .err files after sometime.

it could be becuase the issue of connectivity with DB .

since these are of older timestamp, you can safely delete these files as these are of no use anymore.

Do you need more help here ?

Cool, thanks guys. !

Any of the above information help to you?

Follow up with OP via PM please

ALl good now. Dleting the files doesn't corrupt or harms my SEPm server :-)
