Dear Thomas,

Thanks for your updation.
 I have also checked on older version 8.1.3.
In older version , after 32 MB folder size increased, it automatically cleaned files and size is reduced.

This size is dependent on which paramter in older version?

Regards,
Yogesh

There are no explicit commands to remove them. When the database decides
those files are not needed, it'll remove them automatically.

It's strongly discouraged to mess with those files directly, as it may
easily lead to data loss or data corruption, particularly when it's
unclear why the directory got so large.

You could try setting autovacuum_multixact_freeze_max_age=0 and
vacuuming the database, but it's hard to say if that will help.
