Adobelm_Cleanup.001.dir.* folders in Temp folder?

I was checking in my Temp folder at C:\Documents and Settings\My User Name\Local Settings and there are 83 folders named Adobelm_Cleanup.001.dir.*, with the * representing a 4-digit number starting with 0000 up to 0082, and Date Modified from 3/3/2008 up to 2/23/2009. There are no files in these folders, so I'm guessing they are not currently being used.
I'm running Acrobat Standard 7.1.0 on XP SP3. I'm not having any problems with Acrobat, just curious if those 83 folders are okay to delete or should I just leave them there?
Thanks,
Cyndi
PS - The only Adobe program I have installed is Acrobat. I don't even have Adobe Reader installed.

It should be safe to delete any files within your Temp directory. If they are not open and in use, they will be deleted. If they are in use, they won't be deleted, since they will be busy.

CP Session folders in Temp folder

Hi there.
I've found around 17GB of files in the following folder on my PC:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp
In the temp folder there's a bunch of folders titled things like "CP444421652158Session".
Am I able to delete these folders to free up some space, or will it affect existing/future projects I work on?
I use Captivate 7 on Windows 7.
Thanks.

Hi there
I regularly clean my temp location and I've not seen any ill effects.
(truth be known, I have a utility named CyberKiko DeleteMe that does it for me)
But your mileage may vary.

Oracle Install folders in Temp folder

Are the OraInstallyyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss folders in my temp folder safe to delete?
There are four of these folders totaling 109MB. I'd like this space back if Oracle doesn't need it.
Thanks, ld

Multiple plugtmp-1 plugtmp-2 etc. in local\temp folder stay , crossdomain.xml and other files containing visited websitenames created while private browsing

OS = Windows 7
When I visit a site like youtube whith private browsing enabled and with the add-on named "shockwave flash" in firefox add-on list installed and activate the flashplayer by going to a video the following files are created in the folder C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Local\Temp\plugtmp-1
plugin-crossdomain.xml
plugin-strings-nl_NL-vflLqJ7vu.xlb
The contents of plugin-crossdomain contain both the "youtube.com" adress as "s.ytimg.com" and is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
-<cross-domain-policy> <allow-access-from domain="s.ytimg.com"/> <allow-access-from domain="*.youtube.com"/> </cross-domain-policy>
The contents of the other file I will spare you cause I think those are less common when I visit other sites but I certainly don't trust the file. The crossdomain.xml I see when I visit most other flashpayer sites as well.
I've also noticed multiple plugin-crossdomain-1.xml and onwards in numbers, I just clicked a youtube video to test, got 6 of them in my temp plus a file named "plugin-read2" (no more NL file cause I changed my country, don't know how youtube knows where I'm from, but that's another subject, don't like that either). I just noticed one with a different code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<cross-domain-policy> <allow-access-from domain="*"/> </cross-domain-policy>
So I guess this one comprimises my browsing history a bit less since it doesn't contain a webadress. If these files are even meant to be deposited in my local\temp folder. The bigger problem occurs when they stay there even after using private browsing, after clearing history, after clearing internet temporary files, cache, whatever you can think of. Which they do in my case, got more than 50 plugtmp-# folders in the previous mentioned local\temp folder containing all website names I visited in the last months. There are a variety of files in them, mostly ASP and XML, some just say file. I have yet to witness such a duplicate folder creation since I started checking my temp (perhaps when firefox crashes? I'd say I've had about 50 crashes in recent months).
I started checking my temp because of the following Microsoft Security Essential warnings I received on 23-4-12:
Exploit:Java/CVE-2010-0840.HE
containerfile:C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\jar_cache2196625541034777730.tmp
file:C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\jar_cache2196625541034777730.tmp->pong/reversi.class
and...
Exploit:Java/CVE-2008-5353.ZT
containerfile:C:\Users\Noname\AppData\Local\Temp\jar_cache1028270176376464057.tmp
file:C:\Users\Noname\AppData\Local\Temp\jar_cache1028270176376464057.tmp->Testability.class
Microsoft Security Essentials informed me that these files were quarantained and deleted but when going to my temp file they were still there, I deleted them manually and began the great quest of finding out what the multiple gigabytes of other files and folders were doing in that temp folder and not being deleted with the usual clearing options within firefox (and IE).
Note that I have set my adobe flasplayer settings to the most private intense I could think of while doing these tests (don't allow data storage for all websites, disable peer-to peer stuff, don't remember exactly anymore, etc.). I found it highly suspicious that i needed to change these settings online on an adobe website, is that correct? When right-clicking a video only limited privacy options are available which is why I tried the website thing.
After the inital discovery of the java exploit (which was discovered by MSE shortly after I installed and started my first scan with Malwarebytes, which in turn made me suspicious whether I had even downloaded the right malwarebytes, but no indication in the filename if I google it). Malwarebytes found nothing, MSE found nothing after it said it removed the files, yet it didn't remove them, manually scanning these jar_cache files with both malwarevytes and MSE resulted in nothing. Just to be sure, I deleted them anyways like I said earlier. No new jar_cache files have been created, no exploits detected since then. CCleaner has cleaned most of my temp folder, I did the rest, am blocking all cookies (except for now shortly), noscript add-on has been running a while on my firefox (V 3.6.26) to block most javascripts except from sites like youtube. I've had almost the same problem using similar manual solutions a couple of months ago, and a couple of months before that (clearing all the multiple tmp folders, removing or renaming jar_cache manually, running various antmalware software, full scan not finding a thing afterwards, installing extra add-ons to increase my security, this time it's BetterPrivacy which I found through a mozilla firefox https connection, I hope, which showed me nicely how adobe flash was still storing LSO's even after setting all storage settings to 0 kb and such on the adobe website, enabling private browsing in firefox crushed those little trolls, but still plugtmp trolls are being created, help me crush them please, they confuse me when I'm looking for a real threat but I still want to use flash, IE doesn't need those folders and files, or does it store them somewhere else?).
I'm sorry for the long story and many questions, hope it doesn't scare you away from helping me fight this. I suspect it's people wanting to belong to the hackergroup Anonymous who are doing this to my system and repeating their tricks (or the virus is still there, but I've done many antivirus scans with different programs so no need to suggest that option to me, they don't find it or I run into it after a while again, so far, have not seen jar_cache show up). Obviously, you may focus on the questions pertaining firefox and plugtmp folders, but if you can help me with any information regarding those exploits I would be extremely grateful, I've read alot but there isn't much specific information for checking where it comes from when all the anti-virus scanners don't detect anything anymore and don't block it incoming. I also have downloaded and installed process monitor but it crashes when I try to run it. The first time I tried to run it it lasted the longest, now it crashes after a few seconds, I just saw the number of events run up to almost a million and lots of cpu usage. When it crashed everything returned back to normal, or at least that's what I'm supposed to think I guess. I'll follow up on that one on their forum, but you can tell me if the program is ligit or not (it has a microsoft digital signature, or the name micosoft is used in that signature).

update:
I haven't upgraded my firefox yet because of a "TVU Web Player" plugin that isn't supported in the new firefox and I'm using it occasionally, couldn't find an upgrade for it. Most of my other plugins are upgraded in the green (according to mozilla websitechecker):
Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U31 (green)
Shockwave for Director (green - from Adobe I think)
Shockwave Flash (green - why do I even need 2 of these adobe add-ons? can I remove one? I removed everything else i could find except the reader i think, I found AdobeARM and Adobe Acrobat several versions, very confusing with names constantly switching around)
Java Deployment Toolkit 6.0.310.5 (green, grrr, again a second java, why do they do this stuff, to annoy people who are plagued with java and flash exploits? make it more complicating?)
Adobe Acrobat (green, great, it's still there, well I guess this is the reader then)
TVU Web Player for FireFox (grey - mentioned it already)
Silverlight Plug-In (yellow - hardly use it, I think, unless it's automatic without my knowing, perhaps I watched one stream with it once, I'd like to remove it, but just in case I need it, don't remember why I didn't update, perhaps a conflict, perhaps because I don't use it, or it didn't report a threat like java and doesn't create unwantend and history compromising temp files)
Google Update (grey - can I remove? what will i lose? don't remember installing it, and if I didn't, why didn't firefox block it?)
Veetle TV Core (grey)
Veetle TV Player (grey - using this for watching streams on veetle.com, probably needs the Core, deleted the broadcaster that was there earlier, never chose to install that, can't firefox regulate that when installing different components? or did i just miss that option and assumed I needed when I was installing veetle add-on?)
Well, that's the list i get when checking on your site, when i use my own browseroptions to check add-ons I get a slightly different and longer list including a few I have already turned off (which also doesn't seem very secure to me, what's the point in using your site then for anything other than updates?), here are the differences in MY list:
I can see 2 versions of Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U31, (thanks firefox for not being able to copy-paste this)
one "Classic Java plug-in for Netscape and Mozilla"
the other is "next generation plug-in for Mozilla browsers".
I think I'll just turn off the Netscape and Mozilla one, don't trust it, why would I need 2? There I did it, no crashes, screw java :P
There's also a Mozilla Default plugin listed there, why does firefox list it there without any further information whether I need it or not or whether it really originates from Mozilla firefox? It doesn't even show up when I use your website plugin checker, so is there no easy way by watching this list for me to determin I can skip worrying about it?
There's also some old ones that I recently deactivated still listed like windows live photo gallery, never remember adding that one either or needing it for anything and as usual, right-clicking and "visit homepage" is greyed out, just as it is for the many java crap add-ons I encountered so far.
Doing a quick check, the only homepage I can visit is the veetle one. The rest are greyed out. I also have several "Java Console" in my extentions tab, I deactivated all but the one with the highest number. Still no Java Console visible though, even after going to start/search "java", clicking java file and changing the settings there to "show" console instead of "hide" (can't remember exact details).
There's some other extentions from noscript, TVU webplayer again, ADblock Plus and now also BetterPrivacy (sidenote, a default.LSO remains after cleanup correct? How do I know that one isn't doing anything nasty if it's code has been changed or is being changed? To prevent other LSO's I need to use both private browsing and change all kinds of restrictions online for adobe flashplayer, can anyone say absurd!!! if you think you're infected and want to improve your security? Sorry that rant was against Adobe, but it's really against Anonymous, no offense).

DMS: Documents opened in edit mode(CV02N) are not deleted from Temp Folder

Hi All,
My query is whenever i edit documents like word,pdf or autocad files in cv02n, it make a copy in my c/windows/temp folder but doesnot delete them when it close the transaction. i have given PC data carrier with path as %Temp% & in profiles i have defined the path as c/windows/temp/
So is there any solution by which the files opened in the edit mode will be deleted when i close the transaction or else after some specified time it should get deleted from the temp folder. Is there any standard configration for it.
Note: I have tried the 741388 note but it is only for display mode documents.
Regards
Nishant.

Hi Nishant,
unfortunately this is the standard behavior as for editing the application need a
temporary file and this file is still stored after closing the application to enable a re-checkin in the future too.
So the only possibility is to delete the temporary files from C:\Windows\Temp after some time manually. There is no functionality in the system standard as the SAP system has no control on the windows folders.
To achieve a very similar behavior you can set the "Delete after checkin" flag in transaction DC30 for this applications and see if this will meet your requirements.
This flag means that the original file gets deleted after you check them into a storage category. Maybe this could be usefull.

I don't quite understand the whole deal with AA3's "Temp" folder

So, when exactly can I or should I delete the contents of Auditions temp folder? Mine is currently at a bit over 400MB but on an 90GB partition.
But, I'm wondering when it is appropriate to clear some of all of the temp files out of there.
I just don't understand what they're there for, because as I understood it they are created when you make an edit on a file so that you can undo that edit, if this is true, here are my questions:
1. Are temp files only important when working on a session?
Because I mean, if I make an edit in edit view, it creates a temp file...but once I have finalized that edit and saved re-saved the waveform making it permanent, then what is the point of the temp file? How do I find out which temp files are associated with destructive edits that have been saved and thus making the temp file unnecassary?
2. Are temp files created when an effect is applied in Multi-Track view? if they are then:
IF I delete the wrong temp files does that mean that the efx I applied on certain tracks will no longer be there? Will efx dissapear from tracks on which I have applied them if I delete temp files?
Obviously I don't understand, but why do I need 400+ MB of temp files after my projects have been saved and closed? What is the purpose of all those temp files being there if all my projects are up to speed as far as saving is concerned?
any insight would be highly appreciated, thanks.
Kris

hmmm, thanks for the response but are you sure?
Because it says specifically to use your biggest partition for the temp files folder...if they are all supposedly erased upon the closing of Audition (which mine are definetly not) then why do they suggest to that you use your biggest partition for the temp folder?
Here is more from the manual:
When you edit a file, Adobe Audition copies the audio data into a temporary file for internal use. This process allows for quicker editing, better handling of large files, and the ability to undo changes.
When specifying folders for temporary files, you should use hard disks with plenty of free space. (To specify these folders, see System preferences.) If free disk space reaches 45 MB, the Manage Temporary Folder Reserve Space dialog box appears. You can use this dialog box to delete temporary files and clear undo items.
Use the status bar to monitor the amount of free disk space. (See Display the status bar.)
well if you got to the help files you can see the image too, and it picture where it's giving you the option to delete what appear to be older temp files?
It seems unlikely that if Audition is deleting temp files upon closing and your temp folder is on your largest drive, that a situation would arise wherebye the temp files eat up so much space in one session that your HD is down to 45MB??
maybe I'm missing something, can someone confirm what ryclark said? Is it true that I can manually delete all my temp files and there will be no implications for my sessions which have already been closed?
thanks again.

Temp Folder Bulging

The "temp" folder is the 800 pound gorilla of Captivate that
keeps growing every time I create a new project. I've used
Captivate extensively since I had it installed last spring, and the
temp folder, located within "Local Settings" within the "Documents
and Settings" heirarchy of my Windows 2000 computer, now totals 8
gigabytes in size!
I take care to store my Captivate projects in project folders
and keep all my resources pertinent to the project within each
folder, and this "temp" folder thing is vexing as it is consuming
more and more hard drive space.
But I'm afraid to dump all this temp stuff because I'm unsure
of the consequences if I do.
Can anyone give me some sound advice?
Thanks,

Hi Glen
I've always considered the Temp folder to be just that. As a
result, I've regularly scrubbed it squeaky clean and haven't
noticed any ill consequences as a result.
Cheers... Rick

Google Redirect Virus Fix - How to Locate Internet Temp Folder?

Hi - I am hoping to remove the google redirect virus and, following instruction from an eHow article, I need to delete both my computer and internet temp folders, and then establish new, empty folders for temps.
I assume that "internet temp folder" means there is an actual folder for my firefox temp files? If so, is this found within the browser settings? Or, is it something that resides on the computer?
Sorry for my ignorance ... this virus is sending me into entirely new levels of the learning curve...

Perform the suggestion mentioned in the following articles:
* [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Template:clearCookiesCache Clear Cookies & Cache]
* [[How to clear the cache#w_clear-the-cache|Clear the Network Cache]]
* [[Searches are redirected to another site]]
* [[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware]]
Check and tell if its working.

Why Live Essentials 2012 keeps creating temp folder and Logs.cab?

Say every time I use Windows Photo Gallery 2012 (part of Live Essential 2012, it was called Live Photo Gallery before), it will create a temp sub-folder under system temp folder, something like
C:\Users\sh2sg\AppData\Local\Temp\09170103-00000e90-wusjy4myys\
C:\Users\sh2sg\AppData\Local\Temp\09170103-00000e90-abcdefgh123\
Every sub-folder contains a file called Logs.cab, when I quit Photo Gallery, Log.cab will be auto-deleted but not the folder, in the end there are hundreds of empty sub-folders left behind as I am a heavy Photo Gallery user.
I extracted one Log.cab, there are 11 log files something like:
2012-09-18_21-55_e08-mo5k9081.log
2012-09-19_21-24_e00-td1czj44.log
2012-09-26_22-52_aa0-hzfc3srl.log
contents all look same, here is one of them:

Looks like Photo Gallery (or other Live Essential 2012 components) tries to upgrade every time it runs? I don't mind it doing so althought it didn't alert me at all, but it shouldn't leave tonz of rubbish.
How can I disable this auto-update?
Thanks

Though I am using ONLY Windows Live Mail 2012 in Windows 7 SP1 64bit OS, I am getting the same problem as you.
So I wonder it is not "Photo Gallery" matter.
And why MODERATOR can't search the cause why it happened to him ?
Logs.cab contains 11 files same as him.
one file named as 2015-03-21_20-38_13f4-yk4oabul.log is like this;

Cannot find Adobe_Lightroom_x64.msi after cleaning Temp-folder on Windows - can't update CC-apps

Hello,
The C-drive on my PC was exhausted, and I needed to clean up some space.
I cleaned all temp folders and moved some data folders, and at last the computer worked.
When I now try to update Lightroom the Creative Cloud-app fails with message that it can't uninstall old version, and if I try to uninstall from Control Panel, I get a message asking me to locate the install-file.
My eybrows lifted when I saw that the uninstall-files are supposed to be located in the temp-folder (which by definition should be ok to clean).
How can I recover from this? I have an old 4.4-version of LR installed, which hasn't been a problem, and a 5.3 version which was supposed to be updated to some 5.7-version now.
I found some reference to a CC-cleaner tool, but it doesn't list Lightroom and doesn't clean Lightroom.

Well, replying to my own thread here.
I got it working, using this very messy solution (don't do this if you do not understand the consequences)
Opened Registry editor, and removed these keys (for LR 5.3 and LR 4.4): (Searched the registry for occurences of 'Lightroom' - but stopped after these findings)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Features\BCA17DD2D255C20459929760CA9BC503
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Features\DC559A118934A50488D64E463C16F8FB
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\BCA17DD2D255C20459929760CA9BC503
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\DC559A118934A50488D64E463C16F8FB
Also deleted all the Lighroom-paths from the values under this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\Folders
Now the Creative Cloud does the installation, and it seems to work.
This solution is messy because it leaves lots of LR4 and LR 5.3 references in the registry amd on the computer, it leaves all the files for the older versions.
To fix some of this, I also deleted the folders under Program Files - so the bulk of the files was removed.
The good part of the story is that the settings from 5.3 carried over, and I am able to continue my work.

Deleting "Temp Folder" to Allow iTunes to Work But It Comes Back!

Can you please help me?
I am trying to install iTunes, and for some reason this time I have got the error "iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application."(I've downloaded iTunes before and have never had this problem before.
So basically, I have followed the trouble shooting for this error, the one where you dlete iTunesSetup.exe. and delete Temp Folder. However, when I dlete Temp, it keeps on coming back. I close any other window, try again, but same thing happens. I restart comp and come back to find it still there and the trouble shooting has not worked. Help me please!!!!!

Alright Raver, I'm giving you my clean install instructions. Please read them over before you step through them to be sure you understand them. Remember to follow the steps VERY carefully, otherwise you could cause harm to your PC.
1. Uninstall itunes/ipod/QT software. Delete any old installations you might have.
2. Reboot your PC
3. Re-download the itunes installer and QT and save this installer to your desktop
4. Go to C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations. You should see folders like {06EB3288-C5F4-4C73-8EEE-AC798668FF66}
5. Look in each of these folders for itunes.msi and delete the folder. Be careful to only delete the folders containing itunes.msi
6. Clean out your temp folders, Delete as much as you can in these folders except for the folders Cookies, History, Temporary Internet Files.
a. C:\windows\temp (if one exists)
b. C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Temp
Sometimes installers will pick up old files or won’t delete their temporary files.
7. Go to http://www.download.com/3000-2094-881470.html and download the regcleaner. Unpack it and run it. This is a nice utility that will delete broken registry entries and create a file with them. This way if it deletes anything needed you can add it back. Note I never had to do this with using it for many years. Also it doesn't list XP but you'll be fine. I run XP on both.
8. Empty your recycle bin. Reboot your PC.
9. Now try to go and install everything again. I'd do QT first then follow with itunes. Remember to disable virus/firewall/privacy/web accelerators before launching the install.
If you still can't install then I might need a install log. However I'll give you those steps if these don't work.

Temp folder and Creative Cloud

Is Creative Cloud or CC Applications using Windows Temp folder? I use to delete regularly the contents of this folder.

The temp folder under Windows is used by CC for saving temporarily available updates or complete application downloads while the download and install process is going on through CC desktop app. The Local/Temp folder for your user account contains useful logs like amt3, oobelib and PDApp logs which can be used by Adobe technical support for investigation purposes on encountering application malfunctioning issues. You may clean both Temp folders but by skipping these above files listed.

Firefox 15.1 storing Downloads in Temp folder despite being set to save into Downloads?

OK so I'm running Windows 7 64 Bit and Mozilla Firefox 15.1
Downloads is set to save to "Downloads" but, they are in fact saving to a firefox temp folder?
checked the about:config and browser.download = C:\...\Downloads
I read an answer on here that said "Disable Real Time AV Scanning??? are you serious? all those hackers out there and you want me to turn off my AV?
Please can you provide a suitable answer to this query.

If the anti-virus software is scanning the file while it is still in the temp folder and keeps an handle on it then Firefox won't be able to move the file from the temp folder to the destination folder.<br />
Your AV software should still scan the file if you try to start it or open the file in another application if real-time scanning is disabled.<br />
You can also try to exclude the temp folder, so the scanning will be done once Firefox moves the file to the destination folder and not during the download phase.

PDF files have suddenly started downloading to the temp folder instead of the download folder where they used to be-- the downloads folder is marked correctly

all downloads are set to go to downloads file-- PDFs have quit going there and are in temp folder instead-- all other downloads are still going to the right place

Deleting the '''mimeTypes.rdf''' will reset all download actions to the default settings.
Type '''about:support''' in the address bar and press enter.
Under the page logo on the left side you will see '''Application Basics.'''
Under this find '''Profile Folder.''' To it’s right press the button
'''Show Folder.''' This will open your file browser to the current
Firefox profile. Now '''Close Firefox.'''
Locate the file. Then rename or delete it. Restart Firefox.
