Excessive .pdb files under \Users\sp_admin\AppData\Local\Temp

30k+ folder/files in the \AppData\Local\Temp\ folder for my sp_admin, sp_service, sp_farm profiles.
My reading suggest this is developer debugging? Can someone confirm and provide some guidance on how to turn this off?
Server SPF 2010
I have only used SP Designer and InfoPath and have no recall of turning something like this on.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi Stunpals,
In most cases, it is safe to delete files in %temp% folder. In case of deleting mistakenly, I’d recommend using Disk Cleanup tool. If you have Desk Experience feature installed on your Server, please hold window key and click R, then input Cleanmgr.exe
and click OK. Disk Cleanup tool can used to delete unnecessary files on disk safely.
In addition, here are some links for .pdb files:

Hi TedRayWesty,
When your computer “wake up” from “sleep” mode, the RAM will be able to respond to a wake-up event and calling files for program. There might be a calling failure. I searched about your temp folder name and the temp file name and seems like it is not a system
file and it is called by some third party software.
Try following steps to resolve your issue
Please perform a clean boot and see if the issue still persist.
Check the other contents in ScrC777.temp folder see if you could identify the software.(seems like some Security Software or Anti-Spyware)
Uninstall it and delete the temp folder see what happens.

Failure message C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS2FA3\setup\SolutionCenter\

system win 7 pro 64. Wireless Network printer Photosmart C7250
HP Solutions software failed to work. I tried to reinstall software from HP web site. Everytime I try to rerun it I get the error cannot find C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS2FA3\setup\SolutionCenter\ and says failure to complete install.
HELP.

Hi,
Click the Start menu and typ %temp% into the search box, open the listed Temp folder and locate the HP installation which starts with the 7z characters.
pen the Setup Folder, then the Solution Center Folder and copy that path.
Once the error appear, click on Browse and past the copied path for that folder, confirm any prompt and check for any difference.
If the same error persists, rename the temp folder you have the files to 7zS2FA3 and click Retry on the error screen, then check if that may go any further.

Cannot install C8180 all-in-one printer missing installer.exe in c:\users\name\AppData\Local\Temp

I was attempting to reinstall my printer but got an error message:
Cannot find "Installer.exe" in C:\users\name\AppData\Local\Temp specific file called "FP_AX_MSI_INSTALLER.EXE"

Hello @doug1234 ,
I read your post about the virus you had, and now are having an issue with re-installing your Photosmart C8180. I will try to help you!
Please go back into your temp folder, delete all of the files it will allow you to, close out of the temp folder and download and reinstall the printer again with your firewall and/or anti-virus temporarily disabled. Let me know what happens, including any specific error messages and codes.
When you respond, please include which Operating System you're running and I will look into this further for you, to see what else we can try.
What's my Operating System?

When firefox trys to auto update, or I manually download the new version, or some but not all downloads off of the web, I get this error message. C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.

First off, when firefox trys to auto update, it fails. It tells me to try and download the new version from mozilla's site. When I try to download the new version I get this: (C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.)
This is the same message I have been getting when I try to download other things off the net. (When I use other browsers to download I dont have this problem)

Please help.
It is getting worse
Adobe flash player is crashing. I already uninstalled and re installed the latest ver. Also it is hanging randomly.
Please help.

I get a start-up error on one of my user IDs that says it can't find the driver file: c:\users\ user_name \AppData\Local\Apple Computer\mybxnxhfc.dll What do I do to delete this message?

I have Windows 7. I get this error message each time I log-on to her unser name. I have no issue with the other 3 users.
It looks like this is iTunes related. I only use iTunes on the master user name, NOT on this one, however, it looks like she may have started using iTunes.
When I open iTunes on her account, it doesn't have all of my songs...only 3.
The start folder on her user name is "empty".
What can I do to get rid of this error message each time I log-on?

You've been deleting your actual Photos.
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
Best way forward now is to recover the surviving Originals from this library and start over from scratch.

Every time I try and download a microsoft office file, I get an error saying: Windows cannot find 'C:\Users\Tara\Appdata\Local\Temp\*FILENAME*. This happens will all Office files. Suggestions for fixing this?

I choose download when asked what to do with the file.

Try removing the archive file from Outlook, rename it and then readd, then restart Outlook and see if the error goes away.

Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. The file C:\Users\accountname\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\emailaddress.ost cannot be opened.

I don't have Exchange or anything like that. I did delete the Windows 8 Mail tile, would that have done anything? I've tried deleting the .ost file and opening again, but it's still coming up. My email is also an old fairly irrelevant server (mweb.co.za).
I've looked on the Outlook 2013 pages here but nothing's working. I can't get outlook to open my gmail address either. Do I need to convert the .ost files or something?

Hi,
First, we can try to open Outlook with /resetnavpane command to check if this problem is caused by corrupted Navigation Pane settings. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook.exe /resetnavpane and press Enter.
If the issue persists, we can try to create a new mail profile in Control Panel and set up your email account in the new profile to check the result. To create a new mail profile, please refer:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/en-us
