    hello, i have a question.
    on my server i have a temp folder and in that temp folder i have a cache file which is becoming bigger and bigger, i don't wanna do something rash like delete it, before asking some advice from more experienced members, so is it ok to clean it up, if yes how?
    thanks

    i really don't know, like i said, it's location is here
    /tmp/analog/
    and it doesn't have an extension it is just a File.
    Ma site is a proxy, i never created this file, it must have been created by the cPanel, i have no use for it, but i don't know if i can delete it, will my site work after?

    I'm assuming you are using cPanel and the full directory path is /home/username/tmp/analog

    Those are statistics for your website. They can be removed if you do not care about your statistics or if you use a third party statistics program like Google-Analytics

    If you remove cache files which are in /analog folder then Analog stats may not work properly but Awstats should work as it is. May be you are checking Awstats after removing those files.

    well i checked Analog Stats and they are there as well, i have information from August, and Awstats also, don't know what the cache file was, i only now that he reappeared again and it is getting bigger again, but now i know that i can delete it, so it's ok.
