It looks like its these files: drwx------ 2 root root 8192 Aug 17 16:11 lu10398gvo2au.tmp drwx------ 2 root root 8192 Aug 17 16:14 lu3245gvrkvp.tmp drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Aug 17 16:14 lu4298gvwjcr.tmp
That just keep growing and "many" files in each directory. Over time it fills the / root partition.
What is making those files ? How do I stop it?

Its the XXXXXXX.tmp directory that seem to be filling up... They have .tmp files in the directory.
or the tracker-extract-files is also an unknown.
What is that? how do I stop it ?

I have a Centos 7 install that seems to be filling up disk space to 100% on the root partition.
in /tmp I found files of names... systemd-private-XXXXXXXX-colord and rtkit I have never seen these files before.
there were also files of XXXXXXXXXXXXX.tmp in the /tmp folder.
Why are these files appearing? I have a number of installs and never came across this before.
Thanks,
