You can simply run:
They could be there either because nagios is not picking up the results, there was a connection drop between the nagios server and the host's, or the checks never returned for some other reason. Are you receiving valid status updates for your objects?

I notice that I have these checkxxx in /home/nagios/tmp too, with 34001 files...
What can I do? THe only solution is delete all files?

You will probably need to remove those files as they will cause reaping to backup. Are they recent files? Are more generated and not reaped frequently? If so, then we need to troubleshoot further as well. Otherwise, if they are old files, they may be left over from an earlier issue that was resolved.
