Hello Chris,
Hello,
The issue is due to a known bug.
BUG 27109757 - ON STACK STOP WE SHOULD NOT CREATE AN ACFS.ARCHIVE
DIRECTORY
Due to this bug every time stack stops we create and acfs.archive
directory with the contents of the current acfs directory.
Development has mentioned this bug will be fixed in Product Version 19.1
You can go ahead and delete the old files.
