Deleting temp files.

[dermechove]

when I try to delete temp files from my VPS it doesn't work.
My host said that the TMP folder is too big but when I list the folder it came up with nothing as a result as it it's empty.
The host gave me this command to run

rm -Rf /tmp/vbupload*

also when I tried FTp access I've a file named testecho with I don't know what it is.
Did anyone have this problem before.if yes I would apreciate your help.

Can you paste the output the following commands please:

free -m

ls -la /tmp/

ls -la /var/tmp

df -h

That will give us a better idea on what is going on.
