We had the same issue with the Microsoft IIS logs filling up the disk space on the web server. As a result, our Intranet went down for quite sometime before we discovered the problem. It's one of those things that once you know it, you'll definitely add it to you list of "things to check" when things go wrong. “Blindingly obvious” only when you notice it.

I think they just wanted to keep the information "in case"! Unfortunately for them, I took the unilateral decision to delete them and reinstate that bit of the cleanup script. :) Cheers Tim...

Or is it more likely that they are held and never used? - sounds like a security issue as well to me. cheers Pete Hi Tim,

Some procedure was there and it used to write some files using UTL_FILE. Suddenly there came an issue that it was creating empty files and not writing anything to them. Re-ran it n times, deleteing the files creating new directory and all but in vain :( finally just by accident somebody hit "df -k" (we were on Solaris) and the space had gone upto 100% :D Sidhu lol…really funny…once it happened with us also.
