Many -cpanelsync files in /usr/local/cpanel/bin - Should I delete them?

[outofcontrol]

We have one cpanel server that is getting old, and there isn't enough space on /usr to upgrade. I've noticed that in /usr/local/cpanel/bin there are several scripts that appear to be duplicates with -cpanelsync appended to the name of the file. These files take up 820MB which is a lot of space on this machine. There are 49 of these files in all.

Is it safe to delete these apparent duplicates?

Here is a partial list of those files:

Hello

It's possible a previous cPanel update failed during the synchronization process and those files were leftover. You can safely remove those files (ending in -cpanelsync) from your system.

Thank you.

Thank you so much! We are almost ready to move to a new clean server, but this has saved us from running out of space while we finalize the move.
