I have a server on CentOS Linux mydomain.com 2.6.32-504.16.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Apr 22 06:48:29 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I see the folder /usr/ with more than 18G.

When I do a list with du command I note that exist one file /usr/share/locale/zun/LC_MESSAGES/temp is over 7G is that normal?

Picture of the file on command-line:

enter image description here

Can I remove this file?

  • Don't think this one was hacked, this is a log file I think (not certain though, don't have a Centos server myself).

As you can see from /etc/rsyslog.conf then this file is a log file, if you just view it with cat, more or less then you should see the logs in it. It is safe to delete this file if you don't care about logs that much. Try though to figure out why this file is so big, if it is because it is so old and has never been rotated like most files in /var/log are or if something has been logging heavily recently into this file.
