Re: files in /var/adm/sw/queue/*
man swinstall
/var/adm/sw/queue/
The directory which contains the information about all active and complete install jobs, copy jobs, and other jobs initiated by the SD commands
Which means that if you need to maintain the inventory of the installed software then you better don't touch this directory.

Re: files in /var/adm/sw/queue/*
These are too small to worry about. Leave them alone. The /var/adm/sw is a critical directory for installing HP software and patches. The only tool you should use for this directory is cleanup. Read the man page as there are a number of choices.

Re: files in /var/adm/sw/queue/*
The best tool to clean your /var file system is 'cleanup'. It's not recommended to manually delete any files from /var/adm/sw where your critical patch and software files reside:
# cleanup -c 1 (man pages for details).
There are lot of other things you can do to create space on /var. Check /var/adm/crash for big crash files, trim log files like syslog.log, mail.log, wtmp, utmp, other log files etc.
