So an option that is literally documented as saying "all files and directories created by a tmpfiles.d/ entry will be deleted", that you knew nothing about, sounded like a "good idea"? Did you even go and look what tmpfiles.d entries you had beforehand?
Maybe don't just run random commands that you know nothing about, while ignoring what the documentation tells you? Just a thought eh

I think Lennart has the thickest skin of any person on the internet. I cannot imagine the deranged messages he's gotten from turbo unix neurodivergents over making functional audio and making a functional init system for linux.

tbh the documentation wasn't very clear about the implications of running the purge command so it's good that lennart wrote clearer documentation in his fix.

He doesn't have thick skin. He just has an army of peepeesuckers to fall back on.
I remember an early systemd interview from 2011 where he was going full cwc sneed that people didn't like it

I just dont know why op didnt just rm files from /var/tmp? From what i understand debian still doesnt auto delete tmp filws but if you know /var/tmp is getting full why not just rm it all or only the files you dont need?
