You can run something like the following to clean out the tmp directory:

    cd /path/to/website/home
    find tmp -type f -mtime +7 -print|xargs rm -f

That would remove any file that hasn't been modified in the last seven
days.  I tend to configure for three days, rather than seven, in my
housekeeping scripts.  Set to a value you feel comfortable with.
