The deleted files are available for salvaging, until the physical disk
space is required for other files. The deleted files can therefore be
several years old.

Right-click the volume in your Explorer on the workstation, and choose
"Purge". This will remove the deleted files, and save time during mount.

my doubt how this happen since none of the application creates and
deletes temporary files; i mean where on earth these deleted files come
in the server?!

They can be temporary files made by the server; old log files that get
deleted automatically, etc. When you start purging, you will see a list of
files getting purged; that will give you an idea of where the files come
from.

You can use the Salvage Files menu option to list the files without purging
them, but then you will have to guess which folder they are in.

You next question will be: How do I avoid a build up of new deleted files?
You can install a CRON utility to run a command every day, and you cn
install the TOOLBOX.NLM which contains a PURGE command.
