Bonjour!

Thank you very kindly for your advice!

What about these in /var/lib/perfsonar/regular_testing:

drwxr-x--- 4 perfsonar perfsonar 4096 Oct 17 12:32 esmond_latency_localhost/
drwxr-x--- 4 perfsonar perfsonar 4096 Oct 17 12:32
esmond_throughput_localhost/
drwxr-x--- 4 perfsonar perfsonar 4096 Oct 17 12:32
esmond_traceroute_localhost/

The first is 20GB & deeply nested with many teeny tiny files at the end.
Is it safe to delete the entire esmond_latency_localhost directory, will
it be safely re-created by perfsonar services once they're
reinstated/restarted?
The other 2 are lesser but if they can all be safely deleted, so much
the easier. If it's safe to do so, on your advice!

ATM am just running a find to delete only files in them older than 30
days, but all that deep directory structure uses inodes too.

Progress though!
