title: Effect Of deleting trace files?
body: <p>I have an oracle 11G instance. Its trace file are increasing day by day and causing a disk space issue. I have to delete it manually on every disk space alert. I use the command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>**find \`pwd\` \\( -name \\*.trc -o -name \\*.trm \\) -mtime +2 -exec rm -rf {} \;**
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can schedule this also in cronjob, but I want to know what it will effect in deleting these files and why these files are increasing so much in size. How can I reduce these file by increasing and what will this effect in our database?</p>
