I have an ESXi server that appears to have several junk files in the / (root) directory.
I guess that an erroneous script accidentally created these files, but now I am not sure which I can delete, and which I can remove.
Could anyone post an ls -lah from the / (root) directory of a healthy ESXi 5?
Here is mine:
