A rogue printer daemon appears to have filled up /tmp with 16,000.000 symlinks. Question: how to delete them? (Sometime before the end of 2015)
--

without remount/reboot

find /tmp -type l -delete or find /tmp -name "*filenamepattern*" -type l -delete

replace -type to -xtype for broken symlinks if any

Happy holidays!!!
