general question...

[Jack Harvey]

Hope this is not a bad question. On my scanning computer in the /var/lib/openvas/mgr directory are files...tasks.db-xxxxx...that date back to the implementation of
OpenVAS. They are not large files, but there are lots of them. Is there any clean-up process? Can I delete some of them?
Information appreciated.

They're to do with SQLite journaling. I'm pretty sure it's safe to delete
them, I do. Probably good idea to stop Manager first.
