Windows\temp files to delete

May I delete any old .tmp .ctm .rpt or .rptconMgrCache file from the windows\temp directory ??? Or do you know where there is documenation concerning this? My windows\temp file is growing out of control and the folder needs to be manually cleaned up. Thanks
Dan

a typical solution would be to create a windows bat file to delete files in that directory and to schedule it with windows task manager to run after hours. Usually if a file is being used it shouldn't be deletable (locked by the OS). I don't see any reasons not to deete them.

Published Projects in RoboHelp 7 Generate Large Quantities of Windows/Temp Files When Open

After publishing a project in RoboHelp 7 WebHelp Pro and then
opening the project from the web server, RoboHelp generates
hundreds of RHS*.tmp files in the Windows/Temp directory. This
causes a Protcol host error which crashes RoboHelp. Any ideas on
what is causing this?

Hi Vivek,
Thanks for clearing that up about the tmp files problem. This
is good.
The problem I am getting with RH8 (and same errors I received
when trying to connect to RH7 Server) is that when trying to
publish, get "Publishing has been cancelled. Connection failed.
Please check the connection and post again. Native Error:
Unauthorized".
We thought we had the RH8 Server configured correctly and
currently the site says "Congratulations! The Adobe RoboHelp Server
has been successfully created". Like Cape Ops, we too ended up
resorting back to our RH5 RoboEngine Server after spending months
trying to publish succesfully to RH7 Server. Adobe support couldn't
really offer any solution to solve our problem. We have had a few
very experienced IT people working on this but can not get to work.
With RH8 Server they have been having problems getting IIS and
Tomcat to communicate.
If you could provide any help as to what we should be looking
at, please let me know and I can pass on to my IT guy who is trying
to configure it.
We can't afford to spend much more time trying to get this to
work and I would love to be able to post back here saying this was
solved. Otherwise, we'll continue publishing RH7 to RoboEngine
Server, but my IT guy is suggesting that I look at other software.
Thank you!

Windows\Temp folder filling fast - how to Dispose the Crystal Objects?

Post Author: pontupo
CA Forum: .NET
So the Windows\Temp folder is fast filling the disk in my
deployment. Each time a report is opened, a number of files are created
here. The problem is, of course, probably that I'm not releasing my
report objects in my code, as the reports can't even be manually
deleted without shutting down IIS. Well, fair enough. What I can't
figure out is where to release my reports objects. I have two pages:
one performs a pre-pass of the report object and generates a dynamic
page to prompt the user for parameters. This page, I believe, has no
problems because the report.Close() command is in line with the code
and is the final statement, but I could be mistaken and this page may also be leaving memory leaks. The second page, however, has the
CrystalReportsViewer object and actually displays the report to the
user after setting up the parameters correctly. On this page, I can't
figure out how/when to call report.Close(). If I do it at the
page.Dispose event, there seems to be no affect. If I do it at the
page.Close event, the report will load fine, but if you try to go to
another page in the report (in the case of multi-page reports) or
refresh the data, the report object has already been unloaded and the
CrystalReportsViewer won't be able to find the report document. If I
wrap my code in one big Try-Catch-Finally (rather than just having a
Try-Catch around the file load itself) as I've seen suggested elsewhere and place a report.Close()
command in the Finally, the Finally is executed before the viewer even
loads the report so I get a file not found error. So where
can I unload the report object? What I want is to persist the report
via Sessions (which I do) so that as the user moves between pages of
the report/refreshes the report will remain loaded, but when the user
closes the page or browses to another page, perhaps, I want to close
the report and free the resources so that the temp files are deleted.
Following are some code samples: Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init        sessionString = Request.QueryString("report")        report = Server.MapPath("reports/") & Request.QueryString("report") & ".rpt"        ConfigureCrystalReport()    End SubPrivate Sub ConfigureCrystalReport()        If (Session(sessionString) Is Nothing) Then            reportDoc = New ReportDocument()            'load the report document            If (IsReportValid()) Then              reportDoc.Load(report)              '******************************              'bunch of other code, authentication              'parameter handling, etc. here              '******************************              Session(sessionString) = reportDoc        Else                Response.Redirect("error.aspx")            End If        Else            reportDoc = CType(Session(sessionString), ReportDocument)        End If    CrystalReportsViewer.ReportSource = reportDoc    End Sub    Private Function IsReportValid() As Boolean        Dim reportIsValid As Boolean = False        Try            If (System.IO.File.Exists(report)) Then 'does the file exist?

Why are you checking for is valid before closing? As long as the report object isn't null you should be able to close it (whether it's open or not). I ran into this same problem when trying to store the report, so now I just store the dataset. Everything seems to work fine and navigate appropriately so here's more or less how I handle it:
DataSet myDS;ReportDocument myRPT;
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)    {        try        {            if (!IsPostBack)            {                //pull variables from previous page if available                //set variables into view state so they'll persist in post backs            }            else            {                //if postback then pull from view state            }
            createReport();    }        catch (Exception err)        {            //handle error        }    }
    private void createReport()    {        myDS = new DataSet();        string rpt;
        rpt = "RPTS/report.rpt";        try        {            if (!IsPostBack || Session["data"] == null)            {                myDS = getData();//make data call here                Session["data"] = myDS;            }            else            {                myDS = (DataSet)Session["data"];            }
            if (myDS.Tables.Count > 0)//make sure the dataset isn't empty            {                myRPT = new ReportDocument();                myRPT.Load(Server.MapPath(rpt));                myRPT.SetDataSource(myDS.Tables[0]);
                if (!IsPostBack)                {                    //code to set parameters for report here                }
                MyViewer.ReportSource = myRPT;            }        }        catch (Exception error)        {            //handle error        }    }
    protected void Page_Unload(object Sender, EventArgs e)    {        try        {            if (myRPT != null)            {                myRPT.Close();            }        }        catch (Exception error)        {            //handle error        }    }

Oracle Best Practices / Guidelines regarding Cleaning TEMP files

Hi folks,
Can any one help me with a set of steps / guidelines or best practices to clean TEMP files from OBIEE servers (our PROD environment)?
Does perhaps OBIEE take care of this for you automatically, how is that process happening?
Thanks a lot for your time and attention and hope to hear from you soon.

TEMPS files are deleted from the server once a user logs out. But there might be chance where the TEMP files does not get deleted automaticlly, when the user logs out of the system even before the TEMP file has been generated completely. In this case the temp files get stored in the server, and a bounce of services cleans up the files.
The best practice would be to create a script to empty out the temp directory during the start up of the services.

TS1277 after installing itunes, my computer won't recognize my cdrom/burner any longer. Worked ok before and I have uninstalled itunes and it works again and when I reinstall itunes it won't work again. I have also went into registry files and deleted

After installing itunes, my desktop computer doesn't recognize my internal cd rom/burner. I removed itunes and it works ok and when I reinstall itunes it won't work again. I went into the windows registry files and deleted the lower filter which is one correction for this and it worked ok until the next itunes upgrade and now it won't work again. If anyone knows what to do please let me know. My device manager shows a code "10"

My device manager shows a code "10"
That suggests an AFS.sys issue. But we'd better doublecheck.
Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". (If you're running iTunes 11.0.x you'll need to bring up your menu bar first to see the Help menu.) Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:

Where are the temp files?

My wife was working on a powerpoint presentation in the newest version of Microsoft Office and it just closed. Where would I find the temp file? She did not save it. Is it gone? What do I have to do to make myself her Superman in instances such as this?

Hello skin:
The Microsoft Office help has information about the autosave feature. I use Office, but have never had to recover. It appears that the process is automatic and that the temp file is deleted when you close the program. There is a note that this feature is not a substitute for periodically saving a 'work in progress.'

Let ff auto delete file from c:windows\temp after download?

Say you download a rar file. firefox builds the file first in C:\windows\temp as it download to completion. Then FF COPIES this file to the destination folder which could be on another drive. BUT FF never deletes this temp-file in c:windows\temp after copying. And you can NOT delete this file temp-file until you close FF. Deleting browser history temp files using ctrl-shift-del does not work.
Why is this?
Say I download many rar files at once. After each file completes firefox cCOPIES them to the destintaion directory. Again they go to another drive. BUT FF never deletes the temp-files form c:\windows\temp after completion of download and copying to the destintaion folder. UNLESS you close firefox.
Meanwhile this can clog up my small SSD drive which is only 20GiB
Need workaround please?

OK you developers are such autistic a**holes. I just tried to manually delete the temp files FF makes when downloading files from c:\windows\temp. This did not free up space there's still the same amount of space left (163MB) on my SSD as before deleting the tempfiles form this dir. WTF is this?

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.

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."

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....

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.

Windows 8.1 RTM, Windows Temp Filling up with MSI*.LOG files

I have a machine that seems to be filling up its C: drive by placing a large number of 3MB .LOG files all of the form MSI*.LOG in the C:\Windows\Temp directory. I've tried researching and the closest was kb 223300, however this machine does not
appear to have the registry setting referenced in that article. The Hotfix also says its not valid for this OS (Windows 8.1). Never seen this before. Can someone help? I've completely turned off Windows Update on this machine and so far that seems to be working.
Also, I couldn't figure out for a while why where the disk space was going. Nothing was reporting anywhere close to the full disk utilization. I had to use ROBOCOPY /MIR /L to essentially get a full view of what's on the drive.

I'm getting the same problem too, with 3MB MSI*.LOG files filling up c:\windows\temp. It puts so many on, that it completely fills C: drive. It does it randomly, sometimes going for weeks without problem, sometimes doing it every couple of days, but has
done so since the OS was reinstalled from scratch on an SSD several months ago.
It has been doing it pretty much since I did a complete fresh reinstall. I don't get the problem on any of my other machines, only this one - but this is my only 64 bit machine, so that may have something to do with it.
I first discovered the problem basically while I was installing the basics for the first time. I did a clean OS install, ran the updates, installed Office, and then when I was installing Visual Studio, it failed with an out of disc space error. That's
when I discovered the C:\WINDOWS\TEMP was full of log files.
Unfortunately I've just deleted them again, so can't upload one. But last time I had a look in one, there was something that pointed to Visual Studio possibly being the culprit but I can't remember what it was. I uninstalled and reinstalled Visual Studio,
and thought it had fixed it, as it went for a couple of months without the problem, but has done it three times in the last week.
The files are about 3MB each - I'm new on the forums, so what would be the best way of uploading one so that someone might be able to have a look at it?

Temporary files piling up in \Windows\Temp

I want to delete temporary internet files. Notice I did not say clear the cache. That does not work! How can I delete the temp files? Why did you take that feature away? VERY frustrating that you would do that!

I search for how to delete temp int files and keep coming up with the "clear cache" crap. That is not what I searched for. Clear cache does NOT delete the temp files. Why would you take that feature away??

The Windows temporary internet files folder isn't used directly by Firefox. Firefox uses its own cache folder and you can see its current usage on the about:cache page via the location bar.
If anything does show up in the temporary internet files folder then it is likely caused by using MS plugins like the Windows Media Player or Silverlight. You need to clear that folder via IE or the control panel (internet settings).
