The actual config is in /config/, in the file juniper.conf or juniper.conf.gz
juniper.conf+* is a transient stuff, no impact to remove it if a configuration session is not being done.

Hi Olivier Benghozi,
Thanks.
I checked the KB below is the description,
juniper.conf+.gz : This is the candidate configuration and exists only during commit. It is located in /config
Can you please confirm below two points :-
> So this file is automatically vanished post commit ? Is my understanding is correct ?
> Also that means in my case you mean to say juniper.conf+.gz must present in /conf. which is incorrect, ideally it should not shown under /config and manually I need to remove as per KB and during this the current conf. will not remove and there will be no traffic impact , is my understanding is correct ?

Nope.
Explanation of the various Junos configuration files and their location on a router
Erasing juniper.conf+ will remove the corrupted candidate config file left over from a previous issue. It's not even the current configuration file.

I have a similar production node which matches below KB :
[Junos] Commit error - 'error: commit failed: commit to file failed during export to /config/juniper.conf+'
I like to know if we do , rm -f juniper.conf+ will it remove all conf. from Switch then it will be service impact .
