No, you mean CLEAR.FILE rather than delete.
Clearing the directory is fine as long as you know
no jobs are running at the time. None. Otherwise delete from the O/S any files that are over a certain amount of time old, say a day or two. Do that daily.

You are correct, I intended to say CLEAR.FILE.
I will do a batch job from Windows to delete.
Thnak you for your quick response.

CLEAR.FILE can not readily be executed from a BAT file or from an operating system shell. It must be executed from an operating system shell. However, what you can do from a BAT file is delete the files from within the &PH& directory. Be very careful with the ampersands.
