Windows 10 Temp folder filling up with thousands of files

Ae3799t,

You may be right about Expression Web. You probably don't want to hear this... but it seems like Expression Web does create a bunch of files.. So much so, that they built a tool to clean them up with... FP Cleaner....

This link Expression Web Tutorials - Css Tutorials - BlueHost Tutorials has this verbiage:
FP Cleaner for Expression Web 4 Off Site Link -

A long time staple for clearing up problems in Expression Web. Clear the Hidden Temporary Files as well as the Hidden Web Cache files among other things.

This is the site for FP - Front Page Cleaner... It says that the program does not require installation (whatever that means).... FP Cleaner for FrontPage, Expression Web and SharePoint Designer available – it-blogger.net

On the page, a heading reads:
FP Cleaner for FrontPage, Expression Web and SharePoint Designer available for download

FP Cleaner is a simple clean up utility for FrontPage, Expression Web and SharePoint Designer. FP Cleaner finds and deletes the files that may be causing errors in FrontPage when opening or closing your website or web pages. FP Cleaner does not require installation and will run from the desktop. The program will run on any of the current Windows system.

It appears that this is a long-standing problem... as FP Cleaner is from 2010.

So my sugg. is to try it and see if it cleans up said temp files.... If it does, then likely they were created by the program you stated.
..

I hope I got everyone who tried to help with this issue with a "thanks". I did try everyone's suggestions and almost gave up, but I went through some of the other files in some of the folders and kept seeing MS Visual Studio. Then I went though the Installed programs list and uninstalled both MS Visual Studio Tools and MS Visual Studio.

That fixed the constant filling up of the %temp% folder. Once again, thank you to everyone who tried to help. All good food for thought. Thanks again. Frank

Hi yes im having the same issue but my C:\user\appdata\local\temp is being filled with .zip files all are named Temp1_nameof folder.zip and all the folders in the zip files are files that are on my D drive but they are not files i just used or unzipped it will keep making thes zip files till my m2 ssd is 100% full and as you know creating and deleting over 100Gb of files over and over on a ssd is not good at all and to let you know this starts happening as soon as i load a new copy of windows then add my d drive so theres no way its a virus or malware cause no programs are ran on new install before i checked that folder and seen it starting to fill it up with those temp1_* or temp2_ and so on so what in windows could cause this is it the search background running cause this where it makes the search faster but what ever it is it is a microsoft issue causing this to happen and killing my m2 ssd

here is what i am getting these temp_1 files keep filling up my m2 drive till its completely full and this happens on a brand new win 10 install in the image below i have just deleted over 60Gb of files and within minutes

well being im a miner who scans every wallet or miner i ever downloaded and also the face none of those files were ever opened on this windows os pretty hard for it to get a virus when i had just installed windows and then conected the drive with those files on it and its starts doing this so no i do not have a virus just because a program is a miner does not mean im infected so there goes thatr excuse and all i have seen you do is try to blame all but win
