TH 5 leaves a mess behind (temp files)
« on: Apr 24th, 2008, 7:39pm »		 Quote Quote  Modify Modify
A few days ago, I ran a complete full TH scan on ~500 gigs of files. Several of the files are zip and rar.  
 
Today, I decided to perform a defrag and I was surprised that I had tons of files in my C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxxx\Local Settings\Temp
folder. Hundreds of files! By looking at some of the files, it was obvious that TH checked the files by un-archiving them, but never bothered to delete the temp files after the scan. Is this a plan behavior for TH?

System Temp folders are typically rollover "first in - first out" folders.  These folders are not normally cleaned out by programs who use them.  
 
You could download/install freebie program CCleanerwhich cleans off all sorts of temp and junk files from your system.  Run it as often as you like.  I run it several time a day depending on what I am doing on the system.
