Is it possible to remove old files in the movechunk directory?
Answer / Amit Gautam
Yes, it is possible to remove old files in the movechunk directory. MongoDB automatically handles moving and removing chunk files when balancing operations occur. However, if necessary, you can manually delete the files using file system commands. But be cautious while doing so as it might cause data inconsistencies.
