For starters, try just stopping and starting the database; I think there might be logic to remove orphaned files during postmaster startup. If that doesn't work, you can get rid of any numeric-named files that match no value in pg_class.relfilenode of their database. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
