CygWin tmp folder is taking too much disk space

Question

I noticed that CYGWIN /tmp folder is taking too much disk space ( around 10 gb ). I have the program installed for about 2 years.

I googled for a while and I didn't found any help in cleaning this folder. Does anyone knows how to do it?

Thanks!
