• Cannot delete files locked in the temp folder

  I emptied regularly delete all files in the temp via the function folder in the Tools menu of IE9 and also by searching on folder and deleting the contents of the temporary Local AppData file in the users folder.

  Ten days ago, I found there are some files in the folder temporary AppData that were locked and could not be removed. This only happens in a user account, and this isn't an administrator account. Opening of properties on any of the files by checking the Security tab, I find I am wierdly the sole owner of the file, but have limited permissions. I tried to change the permissions to get total control and then remove the file, but that did not work, nor has anything else I could think of. This included the stop of all open applications and disconnects all users.

  Other file properties:

  -Open with "Windows Shell Commo" - little matter that is.

  -Similar names to ~ DF38C18158B32C1039. TMP

  -Attributes: ATI

  -The size is small (512 bytes, for example)

  -No previous versions

  Normally the files in this folder have names like this except without the ~.

  After having in vain tried everything I could think of to delete these files, I downloaded Revo Uninstaller, who managed to remove all the files locked in the record at the time.  However, the problem resurfaced shortly after and this time Revo Uninstaller did not work.

  I spent a few days of research on the net and try different options without success until I stumbled on a recommendation to go into Control Panel, search for Java, open its settings menu and refuse authorisation for Java to back up the data on my computer.  It worked - I went back in the folder, the files were no longer locked, I was able to remove them as I usually do and I had no other problems with the locked files. Until yesterday.

  I double-checked the settings of Java to ensure that authorization still denied to save data on my computer. I don't remember now if I set permission to refuse when I checked again. I tried then to Revo Uninstaller again, but he failed again to remove these files locked. I noticed today that the date for all files is last July 15.  It seems (so far) no new files have been generated, but I still cannot delete locked files 51 of my computer.  My biggest concern, obviously, is security.  I don't want to locked files including origins, functions and activities that I do nothing on my computer, especially if I'm unable to remove them.

  I want to know how to remove these files, what caused do them appear in the first place and how to prevent them from happening again.

  Thank you!

  Thanks for this suggestion, Oberwald. It came a little too late, however.  Finally, it occurred to me to try my anti-virus software file shredder function and he managed to remove the locked files.

  I believe now these locked files were likely due to some kind of malware - after shredding, my desktop Recycle bin flashed repeatedly icon when I shut down the computer. Also, after have logged you in today, I find everything runs much faster and no sign of keylogging.  Seem to be back to normal.

  I was able to save the link and it will try in the future if necessary.

  Thanks again!

• Drive Windows Media (.wmv file) stored in the Temp folder

  When I download a wmv file, I gives me the opportunity to open the file with Windows Media Player or save the file.  Lately, I've been open files in the player, assuming that, once they play, they are stored in my 'Temp' folder and empty when I delete the folder.  I was also unpin the link in the drop down WMP.  So it was quite a surprise when my hard drive available space began to decline at an alarming rate. When I went to my folder 'Users', it was 43GB and the single folder with any real content was music with 17 GB file. Do a search for wmv files have no results, so I can only assume that there are 26 GB of 'Phantom' wmv files take place, but without any specific place in the folder "users". Given that the "Users" folder is recreated at startup, I deleted all the content, the following prompts to keep files essential and lean record for its actual content to 17.5 GB.  Now I just save the file, manage downloads and delete the files when they are needed.  Is this standard protocol used for the Media Player or is it possible to change the settings of the player?  Thanks for the help.

  First of all - the C:\Users folder should not be deleted like this - several functions of the operating system back up here and you will cause a corruption of just trying to delete it all like that.

  Second - temporary storage of videos open depends on what browser you use. If you are using Internet Explorer, they are stored under C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache

  Chrome stores somewhere else.

  To safely clean the files, use the built-in cleaning system program.  Press Windows + R to display the run box, type cleanmgr and click OK to start the cleaning Manager.

• question about the file ppcrlui in the temp folder

  I had two files that were recently uploaded on c:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\. My AV software informed me that the files were safe.
  ppcrlui_492_2
  ppcrlui_3348_2

  Can someone tell me what they are? Are they really safe? I am never notified of them being downloaded before that.

  TIA.

  These files are part of the library of interface user customer passport (ppcrlui.dll) and there is no need to worry about this file, they are just temporary files from the Windows ppcrlui.dll file which is part of Microsoft CoReXT.

  Hope that you are satisfied with this response.

  If I'm not mistaken reference you the files are temporary files from the print job, you made and can be deleted safely.

• How to force remove a virus/malware process/file in the temp folder?

  I am sure that I met a virus/malware and she had tried several times to enter a first time (that I had said no to the permission of windows) in my hard drive and then hours later, something was repeatedly asking me to upload a file to my computer I say also to cancel. I never met this kind of behaviour before. I also tried to remove some very similar processes/files in the temp folder immediately when he arrived, but these same files name would not remove. They were not the debug log files. And I've never seen these files before. How can I force malicious deleting something like this will not remove like regular temporary files that are.

  YOU CAN NOT JUST DELETE.  You must run Malwarebytes.

  Hi bobr_589,

  A standard procedure for the administration of the system is to reduce the amount of storage space used (typically a hard disk) by deleting temporary files.
   
  That the file is in temp you can remove it because it is not a update file.
   
  In addition to this review, if Windows update is working or not.

• The files have been moved to the temp folder, but now they're gone!

  When my computer did its last update, it changed everything and all my documents in my office were missing. After some research, I found the files under my username and content of the temp folder. (I know little or nothing to the computer) I just dragged and dropped on my desk and everything was fine, but when I stopped and restarted my computer, my office was returned to what it was originally, but this time all folders were empty and the files that I had slipped into the 'new' office have disappeared! OK, so I went into the folder users again, but this time the temporary folder is missing. I found a folder called temp somewhere else, but this did not help at all because it was empty. I tried a system restore, but it didn't help me to recover my files. Help!

  It seems that you have logged in the temporary user profile. In the temporary profiles, no data is stored permanently and the data stored in each session are deleted once the user disconnects.

• create an exception in avast for the nsemail.html file in the temp folder

  I was pulling out my hair trying to find if there could be anything in the temporary files that I have to keep the last few weeks. Then I came across this: "the release of Avast 10.3.2223 (we think it's this version) has resulted in questions with avasts prevention of Thunderbird.
  to function properly. The solution seems to be to create an exception in avast for the nsemail.html file in your
  computers temp folder. "So now I'm completely confused. Why would I put something I need all the time in a temporary file to have remove for cleaning ccleaner?

  Matt, thanks. I read your blog post. I need to replace my HD and I've been fretting over if I have to loose important data from the temporary files. Apparently not. When I talked about ccleaner, it was in the generic sense. I avoided ccleaner because I thought it was a big hammer and some data that he brags about getting rid of I really want to continue. I know that I can choose what remains and what is happening, I'll have to give him another look. Once again thank you.

• My company blocks the executable files to run in the Temp folder. How can I install Firefox without that he tries to run from a temporary folder download.exe?

  I found a work around for the problem of not being able to run executable files from the Temp folder.
  I came across the complete installation of Firefox download page. I downloaded the full installer and used WinRar to extract the file downloaded to a folder and then I could launch setup.exe and Firefox installed successfully.

  Please publish the link on the full installer of Firefox on the same page where the installer of heel is published.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Complete installers can always be downloaded here:

• What happens if I delete the files in the Temp folder in Windows 7?

  What is happening in the windows--> Temp folder in windows 7, and if I delete the files there, that will be a problem?  I want to free up the disk space of 1.8 G, but can't find any info anywhere of the consequences of deleting these files, what they are for, or how they got there.  Thank you!

  In general, it is safe to delete anything in the Temp folder.  Sometimes, you can get a "Cannot be deleted because the file is in use" message, but you can just ignore these files.

  For safety, do your Temp directory deletion right after you restart the computer.  Sometimes a program installer will put something in the Temp directory it needs to complete the installation after a reboot.  If you restart and wait a bit so that they were, whatever left in the Temp folder should be OK to delete it.

  If you want to be conservative, use the built-in Disk Cleanup tool (type of cleaning disc in the search box).  If you select "Temporary files" as one of the elements to clean (deleted), by default, that Disk Cleanup removes only the files that have not changed in 7 days.

• The CP Session in the Temp folder files

  Hello.

  I found about 17 GB of files in the following folder on my PC:

  C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp

  In the temp folder, there are a bunch of folders called things like "CP444421652158Session".

  I am able to delete these files to free up space, or will this affect I work on existing and future projects?

  I use 7 Captivate on Windows 7.

  Thank you.

• Running script without the necessary permissions to access the Temp folder

  Hello

  I'm under AE CC 2015 (latest version) in Windows 7 and I try to use a script (easy arrows) that requires the "Allow of Scripts to write files and access network" to be activated in the AE preferences.

  My COMPUTER service stopped executables to run in the temp folder, what happens when a script requires that the "Allow Scripts to write files and access network" is checked in the preferences of After Effects. I was able to use this script successfully before these new policies have been deployed.

  
  

  I tried easy arrows running from the file > Scripts > run Script file... but has not worked since AE search only the .jsx and not jsxbin file. I tried the filter "All files" when looking for the easy arrows jsxbin file. Is it possible to have the scripts look to another directory to run? The developer has offered to engineer a solution that works within our policies, but I know that I will get the approval of the budget for it.

  
  

  I understand this is an error caused entirely by my Department, but I just need to check that there is not another solution other than to change my local permissions (which they probably aren't).

  
  

  I just need to check that After Effects doesn't have a work around to do this, IE: run scripts from another location, etc.

  
  

  Here is the error in Event Viewer that is generated when I try and run easily arrows:

  Log name: Application Source: Microsoft-Windows-SoftwareRestrictionPolicies Date: 08/02/2016 event ID 15:04:27: 866 task category: no level: warning keywords: User: * (information network not shown for security reasons) * Description: the C:\Users\ADMINK~1\AppData\Local\Temp\12079161588677770.exe has been restricted by your administrator by location with policy rule {1faa3246-c85a-4145-880c-7e4da6e76d37} placed on path C:\Users\*\AppData\Local\*\*.exe.

  Thanks for your help, Kenyon

  You can have several temporary folders. Your guys TI could establish a sharing folder or specific local network for you and include it in the temp system variable, but only when you run as a specific user. Of course, there is always the risk that malicious stuff uses this specific temporary folder, but it is significantly less exposed. Your guy just TI do not go quite far with it and in fact they could impose this even further by using EMET and preventing the execution of specific applications entirely. Although Windows anti-glare very wide open in its default configuration, a lot of it can be controlled and implemented in your favor.

• My Windows 7 computer has office in the Temp folder! It is wrong and what should I do?

  I had a hard drive because of all the files copied several times (a virus) crash? Restored the my documents, my music and my image folders to the new hard drive of the computer and manually delete the duplicate files.

  New computer works fine but I noticed the structure will computer > disc Local (c) > users > temp > and then Temp are all folders like desktop, downloads, My Documents, my music, etc..

  

  Is this normal, should I do something? I also have a folder named Temp in the Windows folder, which seems more the usual thing...

  Thank you!

  I'm afraid the old drive crashed due to a virus and is perhaps still LURKING in the new hard drive somehow.

  It seems that if the 'Temp' folder is the folder of the user profile of the account named "Temp". Open (Control Panel) user accounts and check if there is a username called "Temp". If so, do not delete this folder.

  Or, click Start, type cmd /k net users (press ENTER) to see the list of user accounts in the system.
