temp folder purging

[gkar]

Hi, Ive found chunks of files that have been deleted from list or downloaded that are still in the temp folder. Some of these chunks are a month old and I cant find the option for "purge chunks older than" setting. Any ideas

thx

Which temp folder, specifically? Are you talking Windows or referring to Newsbin?

newsbin

I'm still unsure of what folder you're talking about. I don't know of any temp folder in Newsbin, apart from the folder where it extracts files with autopar. That should be cleared out automatically when extraction is finished, so there's no setting to tweak for that. If that's what you're talking about, I guess the next step is to figure out why it's still there.

I think he means the temp folder in the data folder. The NB2's list there contain not file information. They''re just used to track what was downloaded when you restart. If you get a crash, they might get left behind. Newsbin does purge the temp folder on restart but, just not those files. I don't think it's going to purge them but, I can think about it.

thats the one Quade...all the files are small and "some file ive downloaded".nb2

is it safe to delete them?
