    Odd TMP files - OK to delete? What are they?


    I was helping someone correct an ESENT error and guiding them to:
    System32\config\SystemProfile\AppData\Local\
    and looking in my Local folder there I found a slew of .tmp folders, all zero bytes.

    The folders are dated from 3/13/20 to today (3/29/20)
    There are 19 folders created for each date, all have the same time.

    Is it OK to delete these?
    I ran Disk Cleanup (as Administrator) and it did not remove them.
    What do you think these are?

    Windows 10; After Each Prt Job, .TMP File Left in Printers Folder; Can't Delete, Error in Printfilterpipelinesvc.exe

    Hello,

    For us to isolate the issue about deleting a TMP file after a printing job, kindly respond to the questions below:

    • When did the issue started to occur?
    • Does the issue persist when you print using another device?
    • Is your printer a wireless printer?
    As a first troubleshooting step, we suggest that you download and run the
    printing troubleshooter    .

    We look forward to an update from you.
