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
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.

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.

we recently got our wifi fixed and at first it wouldnt connect to it so i tried all kinds of things mostly restarting my laptop
multiple times...after that i dunno WTH happened but now its so messed up. So many errors come up for everything. Most of them always mention "temp folder". I think somethings wrong with it. I try to open photoshop, word, install firefox...try to
uninstall programs...all bring up errors...NOTHINGS WORKING RIGHT.Hi,
Based on my understanding, "temp folder" means the temporary profile, right? If I misunderstand your true meaning, please feel free to let me know.
As you said, you saw the error message. So, I suggest you post the screenshot or error message.
Meanwhile, I need to confirm if you use a account with administrator permission.

I found a workaround for the problem of not being able to run executables from the Temp folder.
I happened upon the Full Firefox installer download page. I downloaded the full installer and used WinRar to extract the downloaded file to a folder then I could run setup.exe and Firefox installed successfully.
Please publish the link to the full Firefox installer on the same page where the stub installer is published.
Thank you.Hello,
Full installers can always be downloaded here:
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
I am assuming you went to this page:
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
I notice the page has changed a little from the last time I saw it, but you can reach the first link I posted by clicking "Systems & Languages". -

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). -

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,

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.

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.

Office Interop 32 bit on 64 bit OS email attachments filling up outlook temp folder OLK
I have an issue when sending emails (many) using Office.Interop 32 bit that when the application is installed on a 64 bit OS the outlook secure temp is filling up and throwing an exception, this does not occur when the application is installed on a 32 bit
OS.
.NET framework 4.0
Visual Studio 2010 (C#)
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook 14.0.0.0 Runtime v2.0.50727
for (int i = 0; i < 300; i++)
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application outlookApplication = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application();
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._MailItem oMailItem = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._MailItem)outlookApplication.CreateItem(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem);
oMailItem.Recipients.Add("[email protected]").Type = 1;
oMailItem.Subject = "test email";
oMailItem.BodyFormat = OlBodyFormat.olFormatHTML;
oMailItem.Save();
oMailItem.Attachments.Add(@"C:\test_doc_1.docx", (int)Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlAttachmentType.olByValue, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
oMailItem.Attachments.Add(@"C:\test_doc_2.docx", (int)Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlAttachmentType.olByValue, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
oMailItem.Send();
Win7 32bit with Outlook 2010 32bit -> Works on this setup
Win7 64bit with Outlook 2010 32bit -> Does not work on this set up
Problem:
Sending many emails with the same attachment fills the outlook secure temp folder
C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\ZT7WMFGK\
(with a temp copy of the attachment) these files are not removed on Win7 64bit so at about 200 emails the exception is thrown:
"Cannot create file [file name]. Right-click the folder you want to create the file in, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder."
On Win7 32bit i can see the files getting automatically deleted from the secure temp folder so there is no problem
Im not sure where to start with this.Seems that you have to release the objects explicitly. According to articles (http://www.bing.com/search?q=c%23%20release%20com%20objects), try this:
Application outlookApplication =
new
Application();
_MailItem oMailItem = (_MailItem)outlookApplication.CreateItem(
OlItemType.olMailItem );
var recipients = oMailItem.Recipients;
var recipient = recipients.Add(
recipient.Type =
1;
oMailItem.Subject =
"test email";
oMailItem.BodyFormat =
OlBodyFormat.olFormatHTML;
oMailItem.Save();
var attachments = oMailItem.Attachments;
var attachment1 = attachments.Add(
@". . . .", (int)OlAttachmentType.olByValue,
Type.Missing,
Type.Missing );
var attachment2 = attachments.Add(
@". . . .", (int)OlAttachmentType.olByValue,
Type.Missing,
Type.Missing );
oMailItem.Send();
Marshal.ReleaseComObject( attachment2
Marshal.ReleaseComObject( attachment1
Marshal.ReleaseComObject( attachments
Marshal.ReleaseComObject( recipient );
Marshal.ReleaseComObject( recipients
Marshal.ReleaseComObject( oMailItem );
Marshal.ReleaseComObject( outlookApplication
Check (with Debugger) that the files are removed at the end of this fragment.
Also consider creating a single outlookApplication before the loop. -
How to install packages from local folder
Hi all,
I have downloaded all arch linux packages from the following URLs:
ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/core/os/i686/
ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/extra/os/i686/
ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/community/os/i686/
and then have saved them to an external hard disk. Then I have attached that external hard disk to my system and packages are available in following folders:
/mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Core-OS/
/mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Extra-OS-1/
/mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Extra-OS-2/
/mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Community-OS-1/
/mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Community-OS-2/
/mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Community-OS-3/
Now I want to install some or all packages from these folder with the help of pacman command. I am seeing that package corresponding to wvdial command is available in the /mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Extra-OS-1/ folder. But how to use pacman command so that I can install wvdial package from that folder?
In addition to this if I want to install ALL Extra Packages available in the folders /mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Extra-OS-1/ and /mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Extra-OS-2/ then how to execute the pacman command?
Please send me step by step instructions so that I shall be able to install some or all downloaded packages.
I shall remain thankful for this forever.
Best Regards ...
Pankaj KumarHi fukawi2,
Thanks for reply and searching for my username on google. It is true that I am a freelance s/w developer but I am not installing Arch Linux for any client. I am installing it due to some other reasons. In fact I started working on Red Hat and then on Fedora when I was a student of bachelor degree course in computer applications. Then later I searched open suse and started using it. I am using open suse from its 10.1 version. However the recent version of this distribution has become much resource consuming. So I am in the need of a light weight linux distribution. And I encountered Arch Linux. Then I purchased its installation disk from an online shop and installed it on my system. But only text mode is working at this moment. Since I want to use X window and so I started to follow the syntax of pacman command. But it is connecting to internet. Since my internet connection is slow (average speed of 10kbps) and so I requested the same online shop to download all packages from Arch Linux repository and send them to me. Therefore now I am having all those packages in my local external hard disk drive in the folder mentioned in my first post. Now I want to install packages from these folder. And so in order to get help I have come to this forum.
I have also followed the steps given on the pages https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … l_commands and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … repository. But when I am trying to install a particular package using the following command:
pacman -U wvdial
then it is asking for a dependency. I know that the dependent package in my local folder but why it is not being automatically taken by pacman command? Can you please explain it.
That is why I am asking help only for customization and usages of pacman in order to install packages from local folder. But each member in this forum is only referring to long written manuals and not giving me exact solution which I think will involve four/five steps.
Best Regards ...

Acrobat replaces NTFS permissions of Temp folder
OS: Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1
Acrobat Pro v11.0.1
I have set location of my Temp folder to another drive F:.
This folder is pointed by both %TEMP% and %TMP% environment variables.
My user (ex. "SomeDomain\SomeUser") belongs to Adminstrators group and set as owner of this folder.
Acrobat is run under regular privileges of my account (UAC is default).
At random time intervals Acrobat would change the NTFS file permissions of the Temp folder and remove my user (i.e. "SomeDomain\SomeUser") from the permissions list.
Here is an audit event log entry (EventID 4670):
Permissions on an object were changed. Subject: Security ID: SomeDomain\SomeUser Account Name: SomeUser Account Domain: SomeDomain Logon ID: 0xbf91d Object: Object Server: Security Object Type: File Object Name: F:\Temp Handle ID: 0x424 Process: Process ID: 0x69c Process Name: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe Permissions Change: Original Security Descriptor: D:PAI(A;OICI;0x1201ff;;;WD)(A;OICI;FA;;;S-1-5-21-1707761498-773545259-750896631-1000)(A;OICI;FA;;;BA)(A;OICI;FA;;;SY) New Security Descriptor: D:PARAI(A;;FA;;;BA)(A;OICIIO;GA;;;BA)(A;;0x1201df;;;WD)(A;OICIIO;DTGWGR;;;WD)
This causes various runtime errors when installing application.
This issue is also discussed here:

1. Create one small partition in your hard disk (1 GB or less)
2. Format that new partition with FAT32
3. Put your personal temp folder in that partition
4. Enjoy
