TMP, TEMP, and TMP file differential resolution _ Application Tips

When you use the Windows operating system, you may often find in the C-packing directory suffix named tmp files, but also in the Windows directory found a temp directory. Some users just contact the computer may feel puzzled, this is what things come, I have not established such a document AH!

In fact, this is a temporary file generated by Windows, essentially the same as virtual memory, but temporary files more targeted than virtual memory, a separate program services. Also, if you are editing a document using Word, in the installation directory of Word also found a batch of ~ beginning, tmp end of the file, this is the temporary file generated by word, but if your word has not been closed, want to delete them, but may find how to delete, the system repeatedly prompts read and write protection, And what is the good of it? The following is a comprehensive discussion of the provisional documents and the methods for dealing with them:

In general, when you run a large tool software, you should not touch the temporary files, such as Photoshop will be in the process of processing graphics generated a huge temporary files, if you think this is not the file you created attempt to delete, may cause Photoshop panic. You are not currently running the program, found that temporary files can be deleted, lest they spend a lot of time, occupy disk space or small, the key is that they are many and scattered, will give the disk scan finishing brings unnecessary consumption, may also cause file allocation table confusion, resulting in file Cross link error. But not all the temporary documents are generalized.

For example, C packing directory of the temp directory, is a lot of tools temporary files to the directory, without this directory, temporary files can not be created, the tool software is likely to be wrong, so to delete, you should only empty the temporary file inside the garbage, and can not be the temp of the directory are killed Windows usually also has a temp file, is the system default temporary files place, also does not recommend even the directory is deleted, periodically empty the inside of the garbage can be.

There is also the temporary file in the Word installation directory, when you use Word, do not delete them, these ~ beginning, tmp end of the file is the Word program to use, many in the read and write protection state, you want to delete them also can not delete; If you crash when using Word, The next time you boot into Windows, do not delete them first, you should open Word,word from these temporary files to read the last time you crashed the latest saved results, so that you maximize the resumption of the last job. This is actually how Word restores the last document. It's not too late to delete them after you save the file.

Under what circumstances does the temp file not be deleted? That is the background does not run the program, and repeated the same phenomenon of the same failure, and to confirm that the system is not the hardware caused problems, such as printing out the problem, the printer is always do not recognize your paper, the old hint you did not put paper, you should delete the Windows directory in the temp file , and the disk scan is a cross link error, and can not be automatically corrected, you should try to delete the temporary files and then try another scan. Note that some of the temporary files in the Word installation directory are hidden and you may want to use a special gadget to clean up temporary files to remove them, otherwise you'll get all the files in the directory and then delete them manually.
