[Satellite 6] Multiple pgsql_tmpxxxxxx.xx files eating up several gigabytes of disk space under /var/lib/pgsql/data/base/pgsql_tmp on Satellite 6.6 server

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

We can see a number of old pgsql_tmpxxxxxx.xx (for example, pgsql_tmp126564.14) files eating up several gigabytes of disk space under /var/lib/pgsql/data/base/pgsql_tmp on our Satellite 6.6 server.

Are these files still required? Is there a housekeeping process that can safely tidy these up?
