YaST > System > etc/sysconfig editor, then openat the left +Systems +Cron. Set CLEAR_TMP_DIRS_AT_BOOTUP. Read the explenation there. There is interaction with other parameters in the list there to be more specific, but setting it to yes may be OK in miost cases. It will clean your /tmp at every boot.

You can also trash your system by using BleachBit when not knowing what you do… :slight_smile:

Using the cron-parameter as described here is secure and easy.
