I have a ubuntu in which disk is getting full. When I checked the disk usage, I noticed that most of the disk was getting used in /tmp folder. When I opened the /tmp folder, I realized, it has folders created with name rust_mozprofile2oIotz and Temp-fecb01ff-12cd-47bc-8617-882a1256e and there were around 4k folders. And below are the contents of it:

What should I do with these. I am not sure if we can delete them or not. I need to free up some space. Thanks

As already mentioned in the comments, /tmp is cleared automatically on reboot. If you plan to keep your computer running for long time (several days) without reboot, it may be reasonable to install tmpreaper package. It will automatically clean your /tmp directory from files that haven't been used longer than a preconfigured time.
