So, I've noticed that my "File Usage" within my cPanel has been rapidly increasing. I FTP'd into the site and I see a massive, massive number of "run.php" files that have been auto-generated. I mean, literally over 40,000 files. They are numbered like from "run.php" to "run.php.1" to even "run.php.20488" and "run.php.44868".
So, I opened a few of them. Just blank files. I assume it is a "log" of when something ran. Okay, whatever. I manually started to delete these. Maybe I shouldn't have just deleted them but it seemed odd to have and removing them didn't seem to change anything with the site.
But I feel like this is silly to have to go through and manually delete all of the time..? I feel like people probably are not doing this for their Oxwall sites..?
So, does anybody have any idea of why "run.php" files are being generated and how I can either auto-delete them or stop them from unnecessarily(?) generating?

Shoot, I posted this in the wrong forum. Thought I had gone to the Bug Reports and Troubleshooting section. So sorry!

if you go to file manager you can delelete them in chunks just hit the checkboxes
i dont believe its normal, i could be wrong but i have not seen that yet.. make sure someone is not running a script on your server.
