Deleting temp files

My brower, IE, is running slower than usual. I'd heard that by deleting the temp files, which get created when I go onto websites, it might run quicker.
This is on on Old OS 9 machine my son uses in the basement.
I have a high speed cable connection.

Hi, mtb63 -
IE keeps its temporary files here - System Folder >> Preferences >> Explorer >> Temporary Files. It should automatically empty that folder whenever you quit and restart IE. Sometimes there is a duplicate Temporary Items folder in the Explorer Control folder in Preferences.
What many folk have found that helps a lot when using a broadband (cable or DSL) connection is to set the Cache to zero (the number, not the word). That setting is in IE's Preferences (Edit menu), here - Preferences > Web Browser > Advanced, in the middle of the page.
And, increase the Preferred memory allocation for IE if that has not already been done. Adding 20 or 30 thousand, or even more if there is sufficient RAM available, to the original Preferred amount is not excessive.

How do I delete temp file amt3.log?

To reduce malware-related risks, I regularly delete Temp files (%tmp%)
I am unable to delete amt3.log even when no application runs on my PC
Based on a quick Google search, amt3.log seems to be an Adobe-related file
I am using Acrobat X Pro and Photoshop Elements 9
What settings should I change in Acrobat X Pro and/or Photoshop Elements 9 to be able to delete amt3.log?
Thank you

I also use Acrobat Pro X and the same file appears in Temp. I simply unlock it with "Unlocker 1.9.1", then delete the file. You can download "Unlocker 1.9.1" for FREE HERE. Keep in mind that the log file will keep recreating itself, so might be easiest to leave it alone.
After you install Unlocker, right click on any file that you cannot delete and select "unlocker" from the context menu. Then, highlight the program that is using/locking the file and select "unlock" at the bottom of the window. Voila!!! Now you can delete that pesky file. Hope this helps....

Deleted Temp files still visible in certain softwares.

Hi,
I want to know how to get rid of Temp files like (.dwl, .dwl2) or even come xlsx files which have already been deleted but are still visible in some softwares. For example when I do a backup using the Carbon Copy Cloner, I still get the option to choose these files for backup, which are already deleted but which otherwise don't show up in the Folders or a search in Finder.

If you mean visible in a list of recently opened files then yes you will always see them. Those programs store a liost of the most recently opened files and have no way to reference whether they still exist or if they have been moved, copied to some other place or even deleted. It only knows what That Program Opened.
As to CCC those deleted files may still be in your Trash can and it is asking you if you want to back them up. Also it may be that they exist in the last backup and since they aren't still on the drive and wouldn't be included in the new backup CCC is asking if you want to care them over from the old backup or just delete them.

How to Delete Temp files and Cache on MBP 15" Late 2011

Hi,
Off late i am experiencing a lag in my mac and it runs bit slowly. Wanted to get a clear picture on how to clear the unwanted temp files and cache to make my mac run smoothly. Any other suggestions to make it run fast are welcome and would be of great help.
Regards,

The assumption that unwanted temp files and cache are causing poor performance is unjustified. OS X does not maintain unwanted cache files. They exist to increase performance and are updated or deleted as necessary. So are temporary files. Certain font cache files are moved to the Trash during Safe Boot: OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support. Do not use any other utility.
If your Mac is running slowly, determine if the same symptoms occur in Safe Mode.
Back up your Mac if you have not done so already. To learn how to use Time Machine read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support.

HT1926 Why the iTunes download doesn't start in windows 7 after deleting temp file etc

I have followed the instructions for deleting the temp files and still when I click the download button nothing happens. I am very new to this Windows 7 so most likely I am the reason for this failure but its driving me crazy! How do I get iTunes to work?

Adobe staff has to browse these forums on their own time (I know that should be part of their job) so their visits are infrequent.
There are several sites to report bugs which seems to be counterproductive. I think this one has the most support right now. http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family
And you are sure you are not running Bridge CS5 in the background? You can only run one Bridge program at any one time.
In both the Mac and Win OS seems like the workaround to create a new user works frequently, but it is a hassle. In your problem solving did you unistall everything then run the Adobe Script Cleaner?
Although this is a stretch for this problem, but might search your uninstall directroy and see if there are any expired Adobe trials you have not uninstalled. For whatever reason it can stop launch of Bridge "as you need to launch parent application at least once". Apparently even though it is long gone it is still seeing it as "parent" program. As I said it is kind of a stretch here, but you never know.
Good luck on this as I know it is extrememly frustrating and Adobe does have its communication problems.
That is why it is important for the users to step up and start contributing to these forums with suggestions on what to try, thiings they have tried and worked or did not, etc.

How to delete temp files in /u99/temp/obiee_tmp

Hi All,
We have 50gb on /u99 but it got filled suddenly 35gb. While checking I found that following files are created with 7.1 gb size.
nQS_7676_24_20578926.TMP
Can someone please help us how to delete these files.
1. Will running purge_cache.sh scripts clears these files?
2. Can we delete these files manually?
We have Oracle Business Intelligence 10.1.3.4.1
Thanks in advance.

If the cache path is to this folder then go with purging or else stop bi service and delete

Why does firefox need to be closed to delete cookies & temp files

Only firefox seems to be this way -- under Windows, when I run a cleaner to delete temp files and cookies, firefox temp files and cookies can't be deleted unless firefox is closed. Can't this be fixed?

Other browsers don't seem to have his problem. i enjoy be being able to click on one item and having things cleared without fuss or bother. I'd prefer not to auto delete with each close nor do I want to have to manually hunt down with Ctrl+Shift+Del. I'm aware of those options. I was wondering why firefox still worked that way. Definitely a disadvantage for me using it. reminds me of the story:
A guy goes into a store to buy a suit and the clerk gives him one to try on:
Guy, "Hey one sleeve is longer than the other."
Clerk says, "Just shift your shoulders like this and it will look fine, see."
Guy, "But the pantlegs are uneven."
Clerk, "Well, just shift your weight onto one hip and, yes, see it looks fine."
Guy, "But the collar rides low on one side."
Clerk, "Here, hold that side in place with your chin against your chest like you're holding a violin. Voila!"
These accommodations go on for bit and the guy, somewhat exasperated but worn down, buys the suit. He wears it out of the store and down the street with his chin clamped to his chest, and one leg sort of dragging and his shoulder cocked, etc.
Two doctors walk past him and one says, "Oh that poor fellow," and the other says, "Yes, but he sure had a nice looking suit."

Delete Temp DB Files

I run the SGEN and within this run the DB runs full.
Is it possible to delete temp files from SGEN in the DB or what can I do to reduce the size because the data which is wirtten is big.

There is nothing from DB side I can think of. If MaxDB were to create internal temporary files, it would automatically remove them later.
Regarding SGEN (the ABAP mass generation) itself, I have not heard of any temporary data in ABAP tables, but then I am not an expert in this area.
I would suggest that you describe how much space you needed (or how by how much the db did increase before reaching full state) and what your total db size and used size was before the SGEN.
If you want, I could then move this thread to the SAP Solution Manager forum, but it my well be just normal that you have to have a lot of free space if you are to compile all of your ABAP sources.

How do I clear up Temp files from Photoshop to gain more space in my HD?

How do I delete temp files created by Photoshop? I can't find these files.
I only have one HD. It says capacity is 243.22 GB and available space is 1.58 GB. I already backed up my personal files so I expected it should have more disk space but it didn't.
How can something use up 243 GB space in my mac?

"I would suggest reporting back before deleting anything, unless you really know what it is."
I am going to be back in here shortly after using OmniDiskSweeper. I just have a one month old infant on my lap who needs attention, that's why.
Yes, I really wouldn't know what files are to be deleted safely. OmniSweeper doesn't tell me that. But at least I know what is taking so much big space in my HD, what program I can survive without it so I can sort it out which to delete or not.

How Merge Temp File With Photoshop File

Hi Friends,
I Deleted Temp File, And Now get A Error when open photoshop file " Could Not Complet ... is not a valid photoshop format " and my file size is 60mb
and i have temp file that size is 2.50GB but How Merge Temp File With Photoshop File?
Thank you So Much

You can search for recovery programs but most likely if it a temp file is not an image file. You could also try renaming the file to have an image file type and try to open with Photoshop. Again its most likely not an image file. Photoshop only supports some image files formats.

Adobe Reader leaving temp files, which are not auto-deleting.

Adobe reader is leaving temp files all over and I can't delete them. The temp files are left in my "My Documents" folder, which is redirected to the server. Anytime I open a PDF, it leaves a temp file (ie:U17F7.tmp) and it does not auto-delete. The temp files are 0 bytes in size, just really annoying when my folders get cluttered with all these temp files. I also cannot delete the files, because it says the location is incorrect. I am able to delete the temp files when I'm not connected to the company network. How do I get these temp files to remove themselves once I close out of Adobe Reader? This is driving me crazy!

Hi burdurboy05
What is the version of reader that you're using?
Are you trying to print files ?
Did you try to uninstall and re-install the product?

RH 6 - Temp files on server can be deleted to free up space?

The temp folder on our production server is filling up and I'm
wondering whether it is ok for us to delete any of these files. There are some files from 2009 there.
The folder location is “C:\WINDOWS\Temp” and some of the files are named like JETFD8A.tmp, JETF5D3.tmp, etc.
Can I delete these files or at least the old ones (older than today)? Will the server or any services need to be restarted if I do?
Help appreciated.

I'm not seeing the connection with RoboHelp.
