Hi,

I have executed this command 'sudo /usr/bin/lsof | grep deleted' and found that the following files are being held from being deleted.

plesk 2211972 2211973 plesk root txt REG 8,1 5233560 29836 /usr/sbin/plesk (deleted)
plesk 2211972 2211974 plesk root txt REG 8,1 5233560 29836 /usr/sbin/plesk (deleted)
plesk 2211972 2211975 plesk root txt REG 8,1 5233560 29836 /usr/sbin/plesk (deleted)

Executing 'lsof -p 2211972', returns

I tried restarting the plesk service using the following commands but nothing helped in deleting these files.

service sw-engine restart && service sw-cp-server restart

Any other suggestions please?

Restarting the server fixed this.
