Subject:      files left in SAS_workaxxx,when to delete

I notice many of the sas users always left tons of huge files
under the work area, say in subdirecttory SAS_worka0000FB5
even when their sas jobs has already finished.
Wonder if there's a way to tell if the files in such directory
are still in use (could it be the file sas.lck that tells this?)
. If i could distinguish it, i could do a crontab to delete them
periodically so as to free up disk space for other users
