I recenlty received an alert for /opt/pancfg at 80% full. It looks like there must be a bug in a PAN-OS version that seemed to be saving off configs every hour, with a random naming convention of "5rkswfabcbep_5syszjl7hw0j.txt" There are hundreds of these files dating back to last year. It doesn't work when you try to specify a wildcard (*) to match partial filenames, so this would take hours of manual work to clean out. Other than raising a support ticket with TAC and have them do this as root which would clear this out quickly, what other options do I have?

What PAN-OS version you you have installed? Sounds like a very strange bug.
You have the option with creating a little script that fetches the filenames and then sends a delete command over the api for each file. Or you list all the filenames in a cli session, take this list into a texteditor and then add the required commands for the file deletion. This list with all the delete commands you then paste into the cli session and all files will be deleted.
