I'm trying to make a locked down, auto-restoring system that will restore itself once every week. I'm wondering if /tmp and /var/tmp can be safely removed if the system is booted on a different partition (e.g. /dev/sda1 is mounted as the filesystem root and /dev/sda2 is mounted on /mnt, so would it be safe to remove /mnt/tmp and /mnt/var/tmp?).
I've tried searching for answers on this, but I've only found people asking if it's safe to delete when it is actively in use which I already know it is not.
