We've found a safer way to remove these stubborn temp files. The commands are:

```auto
cd ~/central;
docker exec service sh -c "find /tmp/tmp-* -type f -mmin +60 -delete";

```

The 60 ensures you only delete files that are older than 60 minutes. This does not require a restart because it doesn't delete the temporary folders, only their contents.
