Thanks for your response but I just don't want to delete files because there are like quite a bunch of files (owned by root/system) created every other day and I'm afraid of deleting that might be related to some application/OS even though its in /tmp which usually have files that are not really important.
Anyways I'm trying to find where these files are being generated from and for this I'm looking at the option of setting up 'audit' mode, keep you guys posted.
Thanks again.

globus-gram-audit
GLOBUS-GRAM-AUDIT(8) GRAM5 Commands GLOBUS-GRAM-AUDIT(8)
NAME
globus-gram-audit - Load GRAM4 and GRAM5 audit records into a database
SYNOPSIS
globus-gram-audit [--conf CONFIG_FILE] [[--create] | [--update=OLD-VERSION]] [--check] [--delete] [--audit-directory AUDITDIR] [--quiet]
DESCRIPTION
The globus-gram-audit program loads audit records to an SQL-based database. It reads $GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/globus-job-manager.conf by
default to determine the audit directory and then uploads all files in that directory that contain valid audit records to the database
configured by the globus_gram_job_manager_auditing_setup_scripts package. If the upload completes successfully, the audit files will be
removed.
The full set of command-line options to globus-gram-audit consist of:
--conf CONFIG_FILE
Use CONFIG_FILE instead of the default from the
configuration file for audit database
configuration.
--check
Check whether the insertion of a record was
successful by querying the database after
inserting the records. This is used in tests.
--delete Delete audit records from the database right
after inserting them. This is used in tests to
avoid filling the databse with test records.
--audit-directory DIR Look for audit records in DIR, instead of looking
in the directory specified in the job manager
configuration. This is used in tests to control
which records are loaded to the database and then
deleted.
--query SQL Perform the given SQL query on the audit
database. This uses the database information from
the configuration file to determine how to
contact the database.
--quiet Reduce the amount of output for common
operations.
FILES
The globus-gram-audit uses the following files (paths relative to $GLOBUS_LOCATION.
etc/globus-gram-job-manager.conf
GRAM5 job manager configuration. It includes the
default path to the audit directory
etc/globus-gram-audit.conf
Audit configuration. It includes the information
needed to contact the audit database.
