Removing the files won't do you any good if those processes are holding them open. You'll want to kill the processes, too.

Ah.. Yes, I meant to kill the PIDs. Thank you for the catch.
Please advise.

That is great! How do I grep the PIDs that are older than 24 hours? That is what I need in addition to kill -9.

Please advise.
