Hello Kerry,

TMP files are temporary files that are created to temporarily hold data on your computer while you are using a specific software application. Since it is just a temporary files, it is safe to say that there are no consequences when you delete.

I suggest that you use the Disk cleanup tool to delete the temporary files. Here's how:

1. Press the Windows key on your keyboard and type Disk cleanup in the search box and hit
   Enter.
2. Under Files to delete, select the file types to get rid of. To get a description of the file type, select it.
3. Select OK.

If you want to temporarily disable the Background Intelligent Transfer Service to manually delete the said file, just follow these steps.

1. Press the Windows key on your keyboard and type Services in the search box and hit Enter.
2. In the Services window, look for and right-click Background Intelligent Transfer Service, and choose Properties.
3. If you want to stop it from running, just hit the Stop button under
   Service Status, but if you want to disable it, change the option in
   Startup type to Disabled, hit Apply, then
   OK.

Let us know how it goes.
