When Voyager is building thumbnails for certain file types (raster, media files, etc.), it stores a copy of the file in the temp folder located in {Voyager_Install_Dir}/data.
This folder can rapidly increase in size, depending on the type of file(s) being extracted. At times the folder may grow large enough to take up most or all available disk resources, leading to reduced performance. Because of this, Voyager cleans up (deletes) the contents of the temp folder every 24 hours by default.
If the size of the temp folder increases more rapidly, cleaning up every 24 hours may not be sufficient. In that case, Admin users can use the following strategies to reduce the size of the folder:
To delete temp files immediately:
For larger indexes, it may be necessary to schedule cleanup every hour. Scheduling cleanup involves two steps:
Whenever the Trigger conditions are met, Voyager performs the associated Task.
NOTE: If you are indexing a very large data set, it is prudent to schedule cleanup every hour.
To schedule cleanup:

In cases where there is limited available space and a very large index, it is possible to move the temp folder to a different location where space is not limiting.
To move the temp folder:
