Limit Size of Temp File

[Guest David Schwartz]

My C drive was nearly full and I found that my Temp file (not Temp Internet

Files) had over 23GB of crap in it. Can I limit the size of this file?

Thanks

Hi David,

 

Exactly what "Temp file"? You may have a program that created it, but

it wasn't Windows. Windows creates temp files, as do most Windows

programs, and you're not talking about the paging file I presume.

 

Programs like Photoshop create working temp files, so it may be a

program like that you can set the limit on.

Temp FOLDER or a specific temporary file? If the latter, what's the name of

the file?

 

Many programs make use of the TEMP or TMP folder for temporary storage - and

then they don't clean up after themselves (bad program! sit in corner and

feel shame!). Almost always you can remove the contents of the TEMP or TMP

folder without a problem.

 

I know of no way to pre-limit the size of a TEMP folder. And, even if you

could, sure enough some program would fail since it wouldn't have the

ability to take care of it's temporary business.

No, you didn't find a temp file that was 23GB in size. Your TEMP

*folder* had files in it that consumed 23GB. So what files were in your

temp folder that was consuming all this space? You have a program that

is polluting your hard drive because it doesn't delete its temp files,

or your host is continually crashing so the application cannot delete

its files when it gets killed by the crash.

 

You can also use the disk cleanup wizard to occasionally cleanup your

hard disk, including temp files. Read Microsoft's KB article 315246 on

how to save the registry settings (sageset) that you can then specify

when you run a scheduled event in Task Scheduler to run the disk cleanup

wizard (cleanmgr.exe). Otherwise, just run the wizard once in awhile

yourself to cleanup the temp files scattered all over your hard disk.

It would be interesting to know what files consumed most of that space, as

that sure is a LOT (as in, excessive)!

Have you seen what the OP has seen? How can you state, "No, you didn't

find a temp file that was 23GB in size"? Unless he clarifies his

statement (which he didn't to me), we have to believe that is what his

issue is, regardless if it doesn't make sense. Since he knew enough to

say it wasn't "temp internet files", we also have to believe it wasn't

multiple files.

 

I have NEVER seen a workstation that didn't have a cleanup script (that

I always create), have less than hundreds of megs of files, if not gigs

sitting in the temp folders. Windows and the programs installed are

notorious for leaving this junk in a users temp folder.

Re: Limit Size of Temp File

 

It's easy enough for the OP to find out exactly WHAT is in the Temp folder,

and then manually delete it if he wants (in Windows Explorer), rather than

relying on some magic cleanup program to do it behind the scenes. You

don't really need CCleaner OR the Cleanup Manager or any "Wizards", with

just a little bit of effort. And that way you know EXACTLY what you are

doing and removing.

The "magic" CCleaner program not only lets you configure what you want

it to check/cleanup, it also provides you with a list of what it is

about to cleanup when you activate the cleaner - giving you a choice

of doing it or not.

 

You can also configure it to check folders that it doesn't

automatically check on its own.

 

Very nice indeed. Saves time too.

Well, I did say "with a little bit of effort", and I sure don't mind doing

it myself, and actually prefer it that way, most of the time, rather than

relying on wizards and crutches. :-)

You probably still stand in front of your car and manually turn the

engine over with a hand crank to start it.

 

The rest of the world prefers having an electric starter do that.

Re: Limit Size of Temp File

I agree with Nonny's comments regarding cCleaner. You configure what

cCleaner removes and you see a list of what is to be removed before you

confirm removal. It's more effective than the Microsoft Disk CleanUp.

 

I have no experience of Cleanup Manager and found out it existed by

Googling after I read your post.

Well put. As to CCleaner, you might also mention that it runs much, much

faster that the MS file cleanup program. Since I installed CCleaner I've

run cleanmgr perhaps three times, just to see if CCleaner missed

anything. Between CCleaner and DoubleKiller, I keep my disks in pretty

clean condition.

Why not get rid of Excel and do all your calculating with pencil and

paper? That way, you would know EXACTLY what you are doing.

I do too, but I found using 600+ really slowed down the system. I'm

back down to 88 now. You don't find lots of fonts a killer? Then

again how many do you have loaded?

That's an Urban Legend from the Win95 days. Even with 98SE I found no

problem with having more than 500 fonts.

 

I experimented a year or so ago with my font count. I had over 1000

installed.

 

I took it to 500: didn't see a difference.

 

Took it to 200: didn't see a difference.

 

Put everything back and again, no difference.

Have to admit, it was win98se that I was having the fit with. Still, I

can't wade through 600 of them. And I've tweaked the list so good over

the years. Thanks, its at least reassuring to know I won't choke XP.

Your reply made about as much sense as the prior one.
