title: ~/.felix folder contains massive number of files
body: <p>On one of the accounts we use on a cluster there is a hidden folder in the home directory:</p>
  
  <p><code>/home/user/.felix/</code></p>
  
  <p>This contains a huge number of directories:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[user@gateway .felix]$ ls | head -10
  osgi-cache1050e0f4_15774cb91f4_-7ffe
  osgi-cache-1063880a_15289337854_-7ffe
  osgi-cache-10716929_155ac249b99_-7ffe
  osgi-cache-1076af32_1567b76f77c_-7ffe
  osgi-cache10fdd858_15288297a76_-7ffe
  osgi-cache1145761a_1567b157a97_-7ffe
  osgi-cache-1158de5c_15775794758_-7ffe
  osgi-cache-117b5c79_1577655ca87_-7ffe
  osgi-cache-1188faa3_154532959fc_-7fff
  osgi-cache11bf2822_1528906f443_-7ffe
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In each of these folders:</p>
  
  <p><code>osgi-cache-37166e7_1545cb3b7e0_-7ffe/bundle10</code></p>
  
  <p><code>[user@gateway bundle4]$ cat bundle.location 
  reference:file:/gpfs22/local/centos6/matlab/2013a/java/jar/toolbox/bioinfo.jar</code></p>
  
  <p>So I'm thinking these files are created by <code>matlab</code> somehow.</p>
  
  <p>This <code>.felix</code> folder contains about ~150k files which is causing us to go over our quota of 300k files. Is there a way to:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>disable the creation of these files </li>
  <li>clean them up in a safe way (maybe a cron)  </li>
  <li>possible move the location of where these files are created?</li>
  </ol>
