Post by PaulRSI noticed a lot of "stuff" in this directory.
Go to a prompt near you, and type "ECHO %TEMP%". It's a (default)
environment variable, set in CONFIG.SYS. The other one may be "%TMP%".
Using a RAM disk is an option.
TEMP and/or TMP may occur more than once in a CONFIG.SYS. IIRC IBM's
VisualAge C++ package sets it again, instead of changing or using the
existing default setting.
Post by PaulRSis it safe to delete files in this directory without wreaking
havoc somewhere else?
Yes, by design, perhaps unless you're browsing. So "DELTREE *" after a
reboot first, but don't try to unlock and delete all remaning files
and directories without thinking.
I'm not sure if it's still valid, but one may be able to find more
rare and cached, large video files in the Mozilla directories too.
Parts of possibly crashed videos, like temporarely files not saved in
a TEMP or TMP directory. IIRC there's no file extension, with names of
those large video files like "MEDIA_CACHE_2". The size of the files is
more clear than a recalled name. You can play those files with a video
player like KMP, just like parts of video files recreated by CHKDSK
can be played, to check what they are.
