~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cvu res dir will have .xml and .txt files (it will create up to 5 .txt and/or .xml files in that directory), generated at every 6hrs normally by ora.CVU resource. Due to code bug, these files are not getting purged; you might be hitting the bug 19703199  with a workaround to delete the files (or apply the patch)
