Temporary files removing

Lumia 920 with gdr3.
temporary file size increasing,using remove temporary file manager having no effect,saying this a background task check later,still no change .

You can't always remove temporary files. They may be used or otherwise locked. Especially if you use apps like Youtube downloaders, UC browser or download stuff over Bluetooth this area will grow.

How does one remove temporary files from Safari? A friend logged on to her Facebook account using my iMac running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and Safari 6.1.6. Now I can't remove her e-mail address from my computer. When I open Facebook her address shows in the user button. I do not have a Facebook account. It was suggested to me that I try clearing temporary files from Safari but I can't find anything that tells me how to do this. Are temporary files the same as the cache? It also was suggested that I try clearing Safari cache. How do I do that?

Check Safari/Preferences/Passwords to see if the Facebook account is there. If so, select it and remove it. If you are still having problems, Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. If that doesn't work, Safari/Reset Safari.

Edit Locally - Temporary file not removed after check in

Hello,
I am editing a Word document Abc.doc with Edit Locally (using ActiveX). After having done editing the document, I save the document and close MS Word. Then I check in the document by clicking on the button "Check In Now" in the portal screen. The document is checked in KM. At this point, the temporary file should have been removed automatically. However, the temporary file in my local drive under the folder Temp/docservice still remains and the file is now renamed to Abc.doc_send (instead of Abc.doc).
Does anyone know why the temporary file remain ? Is there any configuration need to be done so that the temporary file is automatically removed once the editing is done and check in.
We are using Portal 6.0 SP 16.
Many thanks in advance.

(1) If you have a local server, did you try to build locally, deploy locally and test.
(2) After checking-in your changes, did you activate, transport?
(3) Did the Basis team deploy the changed components to the target server (development server in your case)? If you want auto-deploy, you can set so in the NWDI Transport Studio settings.

Ctxhx temporary files not removed?

Hi,
I am using Context in a 8.1.6.0.0 database.
The documents that are indexed are primarily acrobat files.
Now I have found many thousands of zero byte files in /var/tmp ,
in a format like "AcroAAAZcaqXn" and all created by user oracle.
To me this looks like temporary files not cleaned up, is this
a known problem with ctxhx?
regards /Curt

To quote the Pacman page in Archwiki:
Note: pacman will not remove configurations that the application itself creates (for example .dot files in the home folder).
Configurations (system wide and not current user related) are also stored in /etc. Regarding these config files, this is what the pacman page in Archwiki has to say:
Pacman saves important configuration files when removing certain applications and names them with the extension: .pacsave. To delete these backup files use the -n option
User specific config files, which are created in $HOME are left to the user to clean up
PS: The ArchWiki has a wealth of information. Please read the information there.. You can post here if you still have questions

I'm trying to re-install Firefox 6.0 on my Windows 7 PC but can't because my computer won't create the right temporary files.

My computer crashed and I did a Windows 7 system restore. Everything seemed fine but afterward, Firefox would not launch -- I just got a popup box saying Firefox was already running and that I had to either shut down the program or restart my computer. I restarted my computer several times but it did not work.
I then uninstalled Firefox and tried re-installing it. I then received a popup box saying 7-zip, another program I had installed, couldn't create the temporary files needed. I uninstalled 7-zip, thinking that would solve the problem. Instead, I still get the same message, even without the program installed. I'd appreciate any advice ASAP -- I work from home and have hundreds of bookmarks and tabs that I use every day. Thanks so much!

Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

How can I delete temporary files in FF. This is very simple in IE but feature cannot be found in FF

IE has a simple means to delete both cookies and temporary files. I can delete cookies in FF but there is no way found to delete temporary files. This is a design feature flaw I assume since I cannot imagine this feature is not in the design..just can't be found. I have no idea about the educated guess of "installed plugins". My use of Firefox is just plain vanilla. I've never added any plugins to it.
Any help appreciated.

Failed to create a temporary file in directory C:\PROGRA~2\: Method GetTempFileName

I have Mcafee anti-virus and currently purchased a new package, so I decided to reinstall the software as it would not verify through the other product package.
So I unistalled and tried to reinstall the software and now everytime I try to install any software it either:
(1) does not run the installation process or
(2) an error message pops up saying: "failed to create a temporary file in directory C:\PROGRA~2\: Method GetTempFileName"
I am really stuck as I now basicaly can't run installations and cannot retrieve Mcafee either.
I have an HP Elitebook 8440p.
Any ideas??

Not permissions. Not TEMP path name.
After some research we ran Process Monitor during the build. Turns out we used up all of the temporary file names... LOL!
Tmp file names in Vista, and maybe others, have the format tmp####.tmp, where #### is 0x0000 to 0xffff. When we looked in the Temp directory we found over 65,000 TMP files. We are guessing that CSC creates these files but does not remove them. After so many thousands of builds, we ran out of names. We thought they were gone when we ran Disk Cleanup, but MSBUILD uses the administrator account while we were cleaning from a user account.
Might be nice if CSC deleted it's TMP files...
There ya go, add that to your bag of tricks... :)

Import failure and temporary files

Hi, I'm trying to import my photos from my iPhone into Aperture using the Import function. During the import process, it creates a temporary file, like "..importing.IMG1721.JPG" onto my photo folder, and then continues to say "Importing" indefinitely, so I need to do a force quit on the application. So now two problems:
1) how can I remove these temporary files Aperture has created? When I do a Get Info on them, the permissons say Unknown Access. I can't drag them to Trash or rename these files either?
2) is the iPhone importing a known bug? Note my setup is as follows:
- my files in Aperture are referenced instead of managed
- my photo files are stored on an external drive connected thru my Airport Extreme
- I have no problem importing photos from an SD card to my external drive using Aperture's Import
- as a workaround, I can tell Aperture to import the photos from the iPhone to a local folder, then manually copy the files from the local folder to my external drive and then do a "reconnect all" in Aperture, though this process is time-consuming and something I want to avoid.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim

The m4v can be converted using Compressor. The Unix file is more of a problem. See if you can fnd something that opens it. Try the QT player first. If not you'll need to get it in a proper video format.
Can't tell you what to convert it to without knowing complete and exact specifications of the media.

What about the internet temporary files?

Hello! I'm a quite new to Mac and I would like to know if, as I used to do with my old Windows, there is the need to do some 'spring cleaning' and deleate the internet temporary files. I can't bear the idea of collecting files but also I don't know where the settings are for the span of time the computer collects these files.
Thank you. flpd

Hi flpd welcome to Mac!
Cookies:
In Safari go to 'preferences' and then click the tab under 'security' - you'll see that you have options for cookies. You can view them, delete individual ones or remove them all.
Cache:
Safari stores pages in it's cache. You can clear this by clicking 'safari' and 'empty cache'. You also have 'Reset Safari' that clears the cache, passwords, history, cookie and a few more other bits. Be advised though that Safari runs slower for a while immediately after you've cleared it.
There's also a program called Onyx that is free and very useful. The hyperlink's below:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html
You can adjust the speed of Sarafi, run maintenance scripts and clear your user, system and kernel caches. Again, on initial boot up after emptying these caches your system will temporarily run slower until it builds up the caches again.
However the maintenance scripts are really good at keeping your system in tip top condition - just make sure that your computer is on (not asleep) as the scripts wont run.
Hope this helps

Editing HTML file leaves temporary files lying about the place

G'day
CFB 2.0.1, installed as stand-alone on Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. Although this has been the case since CFB 1.0, and on various Windows installs.
Whenever I edit a HTML file (ie: with a .html extension), CFB creates a temporary file in the same dir, eg: .tmp_charts.html.33659~ (the original file name is charts.html). I've no problem with this - other than the fact it should not be necessary - but what I do have a problem with is that it does not tidy up after itself once it's done: the tmp files stay there. This is a bit sloppy.
I'm sure (100% sure) I've raised with this with Adobe in the past, and raised a bug for it, but it's not on the bug tracker for some reason.
Can other CFB users test out what happens when they edit HTML files with CFB? Note: the tmp file does not show up in the navigator listing within CFB, but it is there in the file system if one looks with Windows Explorer.
I'm going to raise a bug again (done: 3328624), in the hope this can be fixed. It's a minor thing, but I'm sick of accidentally committing rubbish to my source control because I forget CFB can't tidy up after itself.
Cheers.
Adam

Curious.
Still: they should just not be there in the first place. They don't appear for any other file type that I am aware of.
Agreed!
Come to think of it, I had another issue with CFB leaving bits around a while back. Ahhh, now I can't remember exactly what the issue was. I remember it had to do with mapping a networked drive. When I would map a particular drive letter, say 'W', then start CFB it would create an entire folder hierarchy on there seemingly from a different server. I know this because we have two different CF environments here; some server are running CF under JRun and others are running CF under WebSphere. I only noticed this issue because I had mapped one of our JRun servers and all of a sudden it had portions of the WebSphere directory structure on there. I think it had to do with a workspace in CFB but can't remember for sure. I fixed it a while back by removing the offending setting in CFB. Man, wish I could remember exactly what it was...

What are the temporary files created by Tuxedo 8.1 in /tmp

Hello there,
I've noticed that Tuxedo is storing files into /tmp/tx000XCi002W08 !!??
Does anybody know when and why tuxedo is doing this ?
By the way is it possible to move the location of these temporary files somewhere else ?
My config infos:
- Tuxedo 8.1
- OS AIX 5.3TL6
- Domain is run using MP mode
- Domain is made of two LMIDs
Edited by [email protected] at 11/27/2007 9:03 AM

Herbert,
The temporary files stored in directories similar to /tmp/tx000XCi002W08 are
used to lock the Tuxedo VTOC (Virtual Table Of Contents) when it is updated.
This occurs when a TUXCONFIG, BDMCONFIG, or TLOG file is created, but does
not occur when the MIB updates one of these files or when a TLOG record is
written. These lock files are used to protect against two process creating,
destroying, or modifying the file list in a particular VTOC at the same
time.
As long as your application does not continually vary the location of the
TUXCONFIG, BDMCONFIG, or TLOG files, there should be only a small number of
such directories under /tmp. When Tuxedo is shut down, any such directories
can be safely removed.
Although the location of most temporary files in Tuxedo can be changed using
the TMPDIR environment variable, the location of the VTOC lock files cannot
be changed, since different processes could have different values of TMPDIR

Font.createFont() and temporary files

Hi,
I have a servlet which uses the Font createFont(int, InputStream) method to overlay text on an image, which is sent to the client.
However, each time this method is invoked, a copy of the font as a temporary file is stored in c:\windows\temp. Closing the input stream has no effect, and the files only seem to disappear once JBoss/Tomcat is shut down.
Once the font is read and rendered, it is no longer required; how does one signal that this temporary file should be removed? I cannot believe that there is no mechanism designed to programmatically remove these.
(as a possibly amusing sidenote - I recently went on holiday for two weeks and had temporarily commented out the lines to cache already-generated images. I came back to find 6Gb of temporary files, all of them being copies of Verdana.ttf!)
Thanks,
Matt
PS. Yes, I realise that it's inefficient to be reading the font file every time I invoke the servlet - I will change this, but I still dislike the thought of having useless temporary files floating around.

Thank you both so much for your help; I've upgraded from 1.5.0_06 to 1.5.0_08 and the temporary files are now correctly garbage collected.
There are several reasons why I am using an InputStream for loading the Verdana font; firstly, I believe it is best practice to write code that is platform-agnostic where possible. Secondly, I prefer to bundle dependent resources in the software itself rather than rely - or hope - on the target system having what the software is after (within reason, of course).
However, the pragmatic answer is that since Java's font kerning capabilities are less-than-desired (non-existant, even?), I am using iText to calculate font kerning. iText reads the ttf file itself, so rather than have a hard-coded reference to c:\windows\fonts\verdana.ttf (ick!) I decided to bundle the font with the software.

Space for temporary files

Hi,
how much of free space should be provided for temporary files. Is it depends on the app's ? If yes, any estimation ?
Thanks.

How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

7.7 upgrade: Error: There was an error creating a temporary file

*I get the following error when trying to upgrade to 7.7*
+"There was an error creating a temporary file that is needed to complete this installation"+
*When I got to launch iTunes ver 7.6.1.9 I get the following message*
+"The registry settings used by iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes. iTunes was not properly installed. If you want iTunes to retrieve CD information from the internet, you need to reinstall iTunes"+
The problem I have is I cannot uninstall iTunes using ADD/Remove Programs nor can I upgrade.
Anyone have any suggestions?
BTW, when I launch iTunes it works but I have not hooked my iPOD up yet for fear it will erase.
Thanks!
