Hi Ruben,
Shlomi just told me how to find history tmp files that are no longer needed. At the beginning I want to remove these tmp files if the original one no longer exists. But Shlomi's solution might be better: he suggested removing a file only if it has not been modified for some time.
It's my fault, it's actually not a vim-relevant question. I think it's more like a scripting problem to me. sorry for that.
Best Regards,
Linus Boyle

how did it help you. You asked about history tmp files and the response
was completely irrelevant. Clue the rest of us in?
