Bim 360 Temp File Location

[Kevin]

Iwanted to do disk cleanup myself and found a large folder in %localappdata% called Temp. I wondered if deleting the contents of it won't harm my computer. All I know about "temp" folders is that there are more of them. Is it safe to delete a "temp" folder's contents?

Normally, apps should clean up after themselves by removing any temporary files they create. However, they may fail to do so, perhaps if they encounter unexpected setup errors, or if your computer crashes for some unrelated reason while they are running.

The only thing to be careful of is that an app may create temporary files and expect to find them after a reboot, so as to complete a setup or uninstall you ran. In this scenario, if you had cleaned up by deleting temporary files, the app would then not be able to complete the setup/install as you would have removed files that were not yet finished with.

Hello, I am trying to backup a large amount of data to one drive, but my system volume is filling up crashing duplicati and my computer. Is there a way to change this to somewhere on my data volume e.g. d:\duplicati_temp? Thank you!

Thank you for the feedback, when you say use the option --tempdir= I assume you mean create the backup job via cli? ok by me, gotta check it out. Or is this in a config file? The environmental variable may not work as right now the temp data is writing to my profile where the OS Variable is set to %SystemRoot%\TEMP. My data is filling up my C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp directory.

I just wanted to let you know that it is extremely easy on this forum to paste images into your post. Just copy and paste as if it were text. So if you have a possibility to take screenshots, those could make it easier to describe which buttons to press.

I noticed that when exporting a workflow/cubeview to excel the default save location of that file is C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\OneStream. The local IT group policy is to empty that folder upon rebooting the computer.

The Temporary files created by the Windows operating system are usually stored in the %system%\Windows\Temp folder, whereas the ones created by the User when running any software is stored in his user profile at %userprofiles%\AppData\Local\.

I do not think it would be possible as it also opens the file at the same time. So it takes the temporary folder on your windows. I do not think there is an option to change the default path for exporting cubeviews.

Hope it helps,

When using Photoshop, I get files on the system drive that start with Photoshop Temp then a string of numbers. I'd rather not have PS putting these on the SSD. How do I specify where PS will put them? It appears NOT to be the scratch disk since that's set to a different drive. It appears not to be an environment variable since I don't appear to have ANYTHING that points to c:\. I read a number of posts on the Internet that ask this question, but didn't see anything that specified how to move these things.

I have my scratch disk set to the "q:" drive, which is definitely NOT the "c:" drive where the O/S and applications are, and I have photoshop temp files getting put on the scratch disk AND on the C: drive...

Thus, my question. So, if the temp files are still getting put on a disk that is NOT specified as a scratch disk, how DO I change where PS puts ALL the temp files? The ones on the scratch disk are large,

Have the same problem. I changed my scratch disk location to not C. Changed my temporary files in Windows in fact from C drive to a seperate drive even, out of desperation. When rendering in After Effects an animated version of my Photoshop layers, it is creating a gigantic file on C regardless - where there is no room for such a temporary file. I've never encountered this issue before rendering things in the same way previously, and I'm stumped out of my mind. Did you end up figuring this out by any chance, Dave, or anyone else? I need ALL temporary files created by After Effects, Photoshop, etc, to not be on my C drive.

This is my C: drive. Click on the large colour blocks, and the top section tells you what they are. You can see I have >7Gb in my recycle bin. The large green block is Windows Page File, and the red block towards the top right is iTunes back up of my phone.

Look for orphaned Photoshop Temp files in the root directory of any drives you have used as scratch space. If they don't have todays date on, delete them. Note that is different with things like cache, and preview files.

Ok, wow. Fantastic. WinDirStat is a great starting point for me. I have relocated cache locations for MOST of my adobe applications, but not all - I will do that next. But first, I'm going to have some fun with WinDirStat and then look at your other suggetions from there. Thank you.

Temporary files, also called temp or tmp files, are created by programs on your computer to hold data while a permanent file is being written or updated. The data from temporary files is transferred to a permanent file when the task is complete or when the program is closed.

Both Windows 10 and 11 allow users to quickly identify and clear temp files through the Temporary Files menu. This is one of the quickest methods, and it covers the most common types of temporary files.

Windows 11 and 10 come with a feature called Storage Sense that automatically deletes temporary files. Storage Sense clears most temp files every few days without you having to do anything. From the System Storage screen (as shown in Step 3 above), toggle on Storage Sense.

Browsers leave behind a lot of temporary files and other data, such as cached websites, cookies, and your browsing history. These temp folders can grow to ungodly sizes if not managed, so deleting temporary files on Windows 10 and 11 is an essential part of computer maintenance.

Cache: Your browser caches, or stores, data from websites you visit so it can load these websites more quickly next time. But if your cache gets too big, it can slow your browser down or make it crash altogether.

You should regularly delete temporary files to free up space, speed up your computer, and reduce performance issues. Insufficient space makes programs run slowly, increases load times, risks 100% disk usage, and can trigger an endless series of error messages and alerts.

No, deleting temporary files only deletes unwanted files and the temp files folder rarely contains anything important. There are some exceptions, like if your computer crashed while you were in the middle of work and you forgot to save what you were working on. In that case, the backup data can usually be extracted from the temp folder.

So I dig the folders and i have found the right path for that file. So, I came back here to post the right location for Storyline 360 and Windows 10, assuming this could be useful for further reference.

I'm sorry that your Storyline application crashed! It sounds like you were able to find a working version of the file and back up and running. Thank you for taking the time to share this file path. I know it will be helpful for someone who comes across this discussion.

I am saving a very large file to an external server with lots of free space, so I know there's disk space. However, my copy of JMP resides on a hard drive with no space (maybe 0.5% available; C:). I'm thinking that this is the problem. My computer has another drive (E:) with gobs of space. If hard drive space is an issue, can I direct JMP to write its temp files to E:?

Thanks. The only way that I've been able to save my files is to find a new location for them each time I want to save them, then go back and duplicate the old file and move the new version back to the file it belongs in. I was hoping that there would be a more permanant solution.

When working with an existing file, JMP will save the new file to a temporary area and then overwrite the original file when the save is complete. This can help recover the original file in the situation where JMP is not able to write the new file for some reason.

Windows is able to change the location of TEMP by following these instructions: -us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/change-location-of-temp-files-fold... You may need help or permission from your IT dept but if you can change your temp directory to reside on your large E: drive, I think JMP should have a better chance of completing the save.

I was able to solve this issue without IT assistance using a simple batch file that changes the TMP folder location for a local cmd.exe instance and then start the JMP application. JMP inherits the environment variables from cmd.exe for only that instance of the application.

In all the years of doing this I never really noticed this before. When a setup.exe is launched, it is first copied to the users Temp directory before extracting. I always thought 'stuff' was just extracted from the .exe (Prerequisites and such) to the temp directory from the launching location.

We have a setup.exe that has another setup.exe of ours as a prerequisite. Let's say the Main install file is 10MB and the Prerequisite installation is 5MB. Main launched and copied to Temp directory (20 MB of disk space). This extracts the prerequisite .exe (25 MB of disk space in total to this point). The prerequisite is launched and that is then copied to another GUID named folder (30 MB). The .msi is then extracted from the prerequisite .exe for another 5ish MB. So, before the .msi of the prerequisite actually launches, 35 MB of disk space are eaten.

I would think it would be more efficient to extract things from the .exe in the launching area to the temp folder than copying the whole .exe first. We'd be talking about roughly 20MB as opposed to the 35MB we now see.

My understanding is that this is intended behavior that the setup.exe / installer copies itself to the temp location then runs from the temp location. This is to prevent DLL preloading and binary planting.
