Yes that is really bad and has been mentioned already in the past:

> [@Temp and Trash folder under storage directory](https://forum.storj.io/t/temp-and-trash-folder-under-storage-directory/22614):

> Hello, the files present on temp and trash folder under storage could be deleted ? Someone are really old about 2-3 years ago

> [@Large temporary folder](https://forum.storj.io/t/large-temporary-folder/8687):

> Hey my temporary folder is really bloated by the looks of it. Here it is. Is this at some point maybe going to be removed automatically or should I seek approval from mods as to which files I can remove by myself? slight_smile
