The Temporary Folder

Featured Replies

Hello.

 

I've recently did an analysis on my SSD and it turns out that the files in the temporary folder are using up a significant amount of space. Many of those files are related to P3D and the numerous add-ons I have. Is it safe to permanently remove them from my SSD?

 

Thank you

I have never had an issue with deleting files in that folder.  Developers tend to use it when installing.  There are a couple of files that pop up saying they cannot or should not be deleted so I just leave them in there.  No biggie.  I usually always say make a backup of something if you are not sure but if the folder is significantly huge that might not be an option.
