Clearing or clean-up of unnecessary files from the Voyager server, especially when disk usage exceeds 80% will help prevent a number of down system scenarios.
The following directories may contain files which can be safely deleted from the Voyager server. Review files before deleting to be sure they are no longer useful/necessary.
