I have set up the S3 bucket as a streaming distribution with the CloudFront cloud service connected to it. There are quite significant .flv files that I use to connect JWPlayer using a signed URL.
About a month after placing these videos in S3 (and they were viewed by website visitors several times), I just logged in using CloudBerry and noticed that there are many (e.g. 10,000) smaller files in my S3 bucket video size (2K or less) that I did not create.
Are these some temporary files? Can I remove them without harming anything? Is there a way to automatically clean them? A few 2K files there don't really matter, but once we get tons of these small files, the costs can start to add up. Not to mention the fact that we continue to add videos, they will be as short as nuts.
