The tmp folder is used to store files which should be deleted
automatically after the process that created them finishes, but that
doesn't always happen. On the system I run, it has grown to 0.4G in four
years, mostly files created during indexing. Some files are also written
there during startup.
So you should be able to stop the ArchivesSpace service, delete
everything inside the tmp folder, then restart, although I've never done
so myself. But first it would be worth investigating when the bulk of
the 9.4G was created. If it has built up over time, the majority before
the last restart, it is less of a concern than if most of it is new.

Kia ora koutou,
Our ArchivesSpace UAT has run out of space, and the information from
our developer is :
The space is mainly being taken up by temporary files created by the
archivesspace app itself, eg:
antbrown@ccc-dhr-uat-as1:/opt/archivesspace3/data$ sudo -u
archivesspace du -hs tmp
9.4G tmp
Some of these files are used for running the app and it's not obvious
from https://archivesspace.github.io/tech-docs/readme_implement.html
which are safe to delete.
If you were able to post to the mailing list asking which files are
safe to delete in the data/tmp directory, we could write a script to
make sure it's cleaned daily for example.
Any suggestions which files are safe to delete in the data/tmp directory?
Ngā mihi
