[ldm-users] ldm data dir question

having issues with our server ( centos7 ) that runs ldm... locking up. It has happened 2 times in the last 3 weeks or so. The server is pingable... so it's not totally dead.. but you can't get a local or remote console to start. can't figure out if it is out of memory or file handles or what.... it's like a ghost of itself.
After rebooting... the  /home/ldm/var/data/ has around 350,000 files in it.  I am not sure if that is 'ok' or a bit extra. 

We are running a

ldmadmin scour
command... via cron but I don't know what that is doing exactly or it it's doing much. 

when I try and restart ldm it says:

Checking the product-queue...
The writer-counter of the product-queue isn't zero. Either a process
has the product-queue open for writing or the queue might be corrupt.
Terminate the process and recheck or use
    pqcat -l- -s -q /home/ldm/var/queues/ldm.pq && pqcheck -F -q
    /home/ldm/var/queues/ldm.pq
to validate the queue and set the writer-counter to zero.
LDM not started


In the past.... during testing and what not.. I've been able to run:
pqcat -l- -s -q /home/ldm/var/queues/ldm.pq && pqcheck -F -q/home/ldm/var/queues/ldm.pq
and ldm would start after that. This time.. with the 350K files or so.. that pqcat stuff fails.
I am deleting older ( than a day ) files from the /home/ldm/var/data/ direcory... going to see if
pqcat -l- -s -q /home/ldm/var/queues/ldm.pq && pqcheck -F -q/home/ldm/var/queues/ldm.pq 


will work or if I have to rm -rf /home/ldm/var/data/ and start a new q.
If  ldmadmin scour does not let us remove enough files from /home/ldm/var/data/ can I use find and rm to remove files or do they have to be removed using ldm to keep and queses or indexes in sync?
