Hi guys.

I’d been running **pritunl** some time ago - it’s a lab setup - but not using it for a while, removed it.

OS underwent updates & upgrades and even though no **pritunl** installed I have files & folders under **/tmp**

```auto

drwx------. 2 root root 31 Aug 3 16:18 pymp-ennpo8lp

```

Which I’m unable to get rid of - would you know how to “fix” this (& also, what are these dirs) ?

thanks, L.

For those in this/similar to mine situation - access was prevented, also access to _root_, by **pritunl** ’s SELinux modules left behind.
