BladeRunner 0 Posted December 2, 2000 In a perfect world all .tmp files would automatically be deleated as the system finished using them. I have noticed that there aren't half as many flying around under Win2k as there are under other OS's. Delete the little space & cluster consuming gits. Share this post Link to post
DosFreak 2 Posted December 2, 2000 If you do a start/run/cmd and then type in the command SET Look at the lines: TEMP=C:\DOCUME~1\PHILLI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp TMP=C:\DOCUME~1\PHILLI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp That is where all temp files will go. You can redirect that if you wish by right-clicking on My computer/properties/Advanced/Environment Variables/ You'll see the 2 lines at the top. Don't mess with the stuff at the bottom unless you know what your doing. If you redirect the TEMP files to another hard drive/partition you can save yourself from alot of fragmentation on your HD.

JediBaron 0 Posted December 2, 2000 Another good way to delete them in win98 and better is to use Disk Cleanup. Open up My Computer, right-click on your hard drive and hit Properties. Then there's a button called 'Disk Cleanup . . .' The nice thing about that is that it can delete the temp files in all profiles in Win2k (***uming your admin, of course) [This message has been edited by JediBaron (edited 02 December 2000).] Share this post Link to post
VENUGOPAL 0 Posted December 4, 2000 friend i had tried with the disk clean but it is not at all recommending any of the temp files to clean except some files which are of 0.8mb can i proceed manually deleting the temp files which occupied most of my disk space? thanx regards vens Share this post Link to post
bobbinbrisco 0 Posted December 4, 2000 there shouldn't be any problems deleting *.tmp files but make sure u don't delete backup files that word makes- just incase ur computer crached when on ur document. that .tmp file saved me hours of work when my comp crashed Share this post Link to post
