First a quick note (even though it might not be terribly relevant for you)
/var/rundb/privateand/var/run/db/privateare symlinked.I digress,
/var/run/db/privateis a directory used to manage configuration state forconfigure privatemode. You can delete the contents, but DO NOT delete the actual directory structure. Before doing so, I would double check that there is no one actively on the system trying to configure things in private mode.These files should be deleted when a user exits
configure privatefor any reason (commit, disconnect, exit, etc.) I can't say for sure why the files are stuck there, it might just be that the device I'm looking at handles the deletion of those files better since it's newer, couldn't say for sure. But, to reiterate, yes you can delete the contents.Here's a quick example, this is output from two concurrent CLI sessions to show how the files are propagated against the config session.
