ActiveConnections.txt file

Hello.

I have a Big-IP device that is showing the below error message whenever i try to get into tmsh 

"exception: (Can't update command history file (/root/.tmsh-history-root), No space left on device) (framework/CmdHistoryFile.cpp, line 244), exiting..."

it looks that the root partion has 0% free space, have looked around the file systesm and the largest file is one under the root directory named  ActiveConnections.txt, what is this file used for? what will happen if it is deleted?

Regards.

    Hi,

    Run the next command by CLI to find the largest files:

    du -a /dir/ | sort -n -r | head -n 20
