Hi, thanks for your reply.

They are safe to delete, I have to do this daily across dozens of websites.
Is it right that Wordfence creates tmp files if a WordPress update fails?
Does Wordfence usually have the ability to delete it’s own tmp files?

I’m trying to work out if this is usual behaviour for Wordfence or there is something wrong and where things are going wrong.

Thanks,
Alex

Hello @wfalaa,
maybe I can continue this conversation, I have the same problem.

Both ‘Filesystem’ and ‘Wordfence Config’ are showing all green ticks.

The files are collecting in the /tmp/ folder which is alongside the /public_html/ folder.
An example file name is: ‘wordfence.7.1.7-X9RrFi.tmp’.
Each file is between 3-5 MB.
There are currently around 60 files in the folder.

The hosting is Linux provided by Siteground. Siteground support have suggested that I speak to the Wordfence devs about the issue.

Thanks
