autoremove all files owned by user nagios

Hi,
we have problem on nagiosxi, one per week all files owned by nagios auto remove.
We disable autobackup script and restore in /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts.
but still removed all files

help please

I would check the crontab's on the machine it see what you have running at that particular time.

There isn't anything that I am aware of that auto removes all files owned by a particular user.

Is it everything, or just in a certain directory?

crontab nagios user:

* * * * * /usr/bin/php -q /usr/local/nagiosxi/cron/sysstat.php > /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/sysstat.log 2>&1

yes

There isn't anything in that directory that Nagios actually uses. The nagios user is set to nologin so it doesn't really even need that directory.
