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.
