Dear Friends,

I am newbie to postgresql.
I have 162 GB on my database but when I check size of all tables, I
approximately obtain 80 GB.
I also see that I have 68GB of temporary files however I only found 2.4MB
at postgres/data/base/pgsql_tmp.

Could you tell me what are those temporary files and where are they at? Can
I delete some of them?

All values come from pgAdmin 4 and checked by my own SQL
queries(postgresql-9.6).
I already run vacuum full and there is few dead tuples.

Best regards,
Jimmy AUGUSTINE
