Hi there,

I've found 4 files with a .tmp extension located within hidden folders in my hard drive - each are around 3Gb in size, so they're pretty huge. They're each named hpg followed by a 2 digit number. Does anyone know what these files are used for? And is it safe to delete them?

Thanks

I guess with temp files - the rule of thumb is that if it's older than - say - a week then you can delete. Windows won't let you delete anything currently in use anyway. Also you must set a system restore point (if u r using XP or ME) before deleting anything and also just move the files to the recycle bin until you are happy that deleting them hasn't caused you any other problems...when you are happy that your system hasn't been adversly affected then you can permanently remove them from the recycle bin.

Hope this helps.

Cheers, I think i'll try moving them to Recycle Bin - I think they're too large to be used by the system anyway.
