Windows 10: High capacity and fast fill of AppData\Local\Temp\jnjl32fl folder

Hi,


Recently i wound out that "USER\AppData\Local\Temp\jnjl32fl" folder get big pretty fast, and can reach 1GB data after 2 days.

The folder contain Temp data of different microsoft application, especially, but not only, visual studio data.

Please note that as I do installed VS, but i didn't used it in past week.

Partial report show in the bottom.

Is it a normal behavior? can it be some malware using those location?

Please advice.

AppData/Local/Temp folder has deleted a file

Stupidly I have been working on a temporary CAD file in AppData/Local/Temp folder, not sure how it happened (power cut maybe) but it came up as the top file on my list of recent files and I just opened it worked on it a few days ago and saved it. Actually
I must have done this several days in a row. Scroll forward to today and it still comes up on my file list but doesn't seem to actually exist anymore. I have tried a file search with no luck. Several days work lost it seems. Does this file still exist somewhere?
Any ideas?

Thanks

Will

 

What is the difference between %TEMP% folder and the TEMP folder in C:\Windows\TEMP ?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I understand that you would like to know the difference between C:\ temp and %temp%. We will assist you.

Windows Temporary files are created by the operating system during the normal course of its running when there may not be enough memory allocated for the task.

Software which use large amounts of data like Graphics, Video or Media editing software also create temporary files.

Temporary files are also created for back up purposes by its respective programs. These temp files are left behind even after the task is over which leads to disk space usage.

The Temporary Files in Windows are typically found located in two locations:

• %systemdrive%\Windows\Temp
• %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp

The Temporary files created by the Windows operating system are usually stored in the %system%\Windows\Temp folderand this is where the system itself will put temporary files during installations.

The temporary files created by the User when running any software is stored in his user profile at %userprofiles%\AppData\Local\. The other folder typically located at C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp, is created for each User. This folder
is hidden and you will have to first ‘un-hide’ System folders from the Folder Options.

Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

Thank you.

 

AppData/Local/Temp folder has deleted a file

Hi Willbowden,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. I understand your concern and I'll be glad to assist you.

Generally speaking, you really shouldn't tamper with the AppData folder. Its name suggests what it does, it's the folder your programs use to store their information.

Are you assuming that the deletion of the file in AppData has affected your system?

Windows will not delete the files that are in use, but as these are 'temporary' files

you do not need to worry about those you can delete. This is a common practice that is can be done

via Disk Cleanup (which does not delete all the files), but if you want to, go ahead and

copy them to a folder somewhere of your choice and compress them if you are desperate for space

on your SSD.

Leaving too much in your TEMP folder will slow Windows.

Hope this post helps. Get back to us or further queries. we are happy to help.
