My TMP folder takes a lot of space.
What is the function of the Piwik tmp folder (…/piwik/tmp/) and what is the fuction of the cache folder (…/piwik/tmp/cache).
Do we need the files in this folder or is it just a dump ?
Under which circumstances these files can be deleted?
What information is lost after deleteing these files?
When are the files in these folders created ?
When are the files in these folders needed?
Many thanks in advance for answering.

Does Piwik automatically empty that folder on a preset time frame?
Allow me to add another question:
Can we set up a cron job to empty this directory:
/path-to/piwik-installation/tmp/templates_c
This folder should not get enormous. Do you know which folders take the most size?
You can safely delete the tmp/* folder content.
The two largest folders are:
piwik/tmp/latest
size: 19.95 Mb
piwik/tmp/templates_c
size: 2.0 Mb

Following up to ask if it is OK to set up a cron job to empty this directory.
