How to remove HPROF dump files (java_pid*) inside collector installation folder utilising disk space?

Problem:

There a large number of dump files (java_pid*) inside the installation folder after updating the collector agent? This is killing our servers and keeps on sending us critical alerts due to disk usage.

How to resolve and make sure those files aren't created automatically?

Solution:

The HPROF dump file auto-generates every time the collector restarts due to OOM.

If the OOM is happening we should increase the java heap memory allocated to the collector which would auto-resolve this issue.
