Well you will probably need a reboot after you delete the files.  But if
they are in /tmp they should be temporary.

But if you just want to get rid of the file_t files

The following will print the names

# find /tmp -context "*:file_t*"

This command will delete.

# find /tmp -context "*:file_t*" -exec rm {} \; -print

> How do I use tmpfs for /tmp ?
> 
 grep /tmp /etc/fstab
tmpfs         /tmp	tmpfs   defaults        0 0
