I've exceeded my disk quota and am trying to clean up unused files as suggested by PA but am getting the follow message. Any help is appreciated

14:07 ~ $ rm -rf /tmp/* /tmp/.*
rm: refusing to remove '.' or '..' directory: skipping '/tmp/.'
rm: refusing to remove '.' or '..' directory: skipping '/tmp/..'

. in Linux paths means "this directory", and .. means "the parent directory". You don't have permissions to delete /tmp nor its parent on PythonAnywhere. The other files in /tmp should be removed, though.
