lots of temp files left around I was playing around in %TMP% on windows (C:\DOCUME~1\mozilla\LOCALS~1\Temp for me), and I noticed a lot of .tmp files lying around. nsmail.eml (1-10), nscopy.tmp (1-34), nscpmsg.txt (1-2), moz-screenshot (1-30), nsmail.html (1-2), nsmail.tmp These are mostly from January 07. I'm on tbird beta 2 on windows xp, version 2 beta 2 (20070125) david writes: "There are definitely situations where we leak temp files, and eventually it slows things down, when we try to find an available temp file. I definitely have some. Yours look like all sorts of operations are leaking temp files. We should really cleanup temp files on startup."

I'm knowling not deleting moz-screenshot images from the temp directory in order to let stand alone composer support pasting of clipboard images. Not sure about nsmail or nscopy files though.

I have removed 8GB of temp files this morning. it looks like a file is cereated and left to rot for ever incoming eMail. eMails with attachments end up as large orphan files. Could this be an interference with Symantec Endpoint Protection? i have a series of similar filese here: s5sc s5sc.1 s5sc.2 s5sc.3

To Herbert Baumberger: Put shortcut of following bat file in "Start Up" folder of your MS Win. > DEL-TEMP.BAT > DEL %temp%\*.* /S /F /Q This is very usual/popular/simple/easy technique used since MS DOS era. If the shortcut is put in "Start Up" folder of "All Users", "clean up of %temp%" works upon login of any MS Win user of your PC.
