Hello,
looking into kodi tmp dir I have found:

Can I remove this stuff ? (Except the dirs, of course!)

What is the meaning to have a kodi.old.log?
Is a sort of log rotate?

Thanks

[DaVu]

I can only tell something about the kodi.log files. Don't know anything about the rest.

The kodi.log and the kodi.old.log are created at every start of kodi. The kodi.old.log is always the logfile from the previous run of kodi where kodi.log is logfile from the actual running kodi. kodi.old.log will always be overwritten with the actual log if you restart kodi again.

This is sometimes necessary if the system freezes completely and you aren't able to get the log directly. With this old.log file you are able to access the specific log later.

And to answer your question...yes, you can delete them (the kodi-logfiles I meant), but they will be created again

Thanks David,
it means that I don't have to worry about the waste of space: I start kodi twice and I am good to go!

About the other file, it seems to me:

dmp: dump file. Created after a kodi crash! (Can be removed if you don't need to investigate about the crash)
cache: cache file. They shouldn't be there since that I have an android box with small storage! (maybe, I had a "zero cache" configuration, back in 2015?)
fi : cache as well, can be remove without any problem.
