I would be more concerned if you have many trace files generated frequently. I usually saw maybe one or two trace generated by oracle and I usually looked at them and delete them afterwards. If you have lots of trace generated, you may want to investigate why.

Can anyone tell me what a good standard to follow would be for the length of time to keep *.trc files. I'm moving these to a separate file system to free up some disk.
