/dev/RCT files very large - IS THIS NORMAL?

[dbm7230]

My root filesystem space has gone from 62% to 91% and the only culprits look like these files in the /dev directory. Can anyone tell me if the size of these are normal or not? And if not can I "touch" them or zero them out? How can it be done if so?

-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 58167808 Sep 26 2002 rctmini
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 463272960 Oct 24 2002 rct1

Thanks for your help!

Normally, /dev/rct* are character (raw) device nodes.
Seems you made backups in 2002 on non existent cartridge devices ...
I suggest you get rid of this 2 files.

Hope This Helps, PH.
