You're new around here aren't you?

Even if I was new – which is not the case – what's it to you?


Your suggestion to reboot 'just in case' would only be appropriate as
either parody or troll.  Especially in a cut and dry case like this,
where all the used drive space has been identified and there is no
mystery missing space caused by deleted but open files.

You're missing the point. You didn't read my post or the get my
premise but you didn't fail to assume I was some kind of idiot and/or
troll.

I was starting off by saying I can find no reference (information,
explanation, something) for those kind of files in /var/backups. Since
the OP wondered if he could move the file to another location to see
what happens and then delete it, I suggested a reboot before deleting
it (since a lot of things can change upon *full* system
reinitialization, as opposed to sync-ing).

That was my rationale and the "just in case" construction that seems
to highly bother you.
