Dear Erman,

Hope you are fine there , wants to ask one query regarding my production environment.

We are using ebs 12.1.3 environment and inst_top size are very high.

Today  i have found that there is one directory whose size is more then 300GB.

cd /u02/oracle/PROD/inst/apps/PROD_prodapp12/ora/10.1.2

under this below are the directories available.

[oracle@prodapp12 10.1.2]$ ls -ltr
total 212
drwxr-xr-x 3 oracle oradba   4096 Mar 12  2016 network
drwxr-xr-x 2 oracle oradba   4096 Mar 12  2016 bin
drwxr-xr-x 3 oracle oradba   4096 Mar 12  2016 reports

drwxr-xr-x 3 oracle oradba 196608 Sep  6 10:07 forms


we have found in forms directory are occupied more then 300 GB space.

it has all core files , started with January 2019, is it secure to remove that core files.

All files are around 50 mb each.
