Did any answer help you? If so, you should accept the answer so that the question doesn't keep popping up forever, looking for an answer. Alternatively, you can post and accept your own answer. – Ron Maupin♦ Dec 17 '20 at 19:01
Juniper built a specific command for cleaning up files.
request system storage cleanup
and request system storage cleanup dry-run
The documentation is here, but basically it's for doing exactly what you want - deleting unnecessary files. I tend to just use dry-run
and manually delete a handful if I'm even slightly concerned about it. While it's a bit liberal, it will never delete anything critical to the system.
You can safely delete that file. Someone most likely left it there by mistake after a software upgrade.
