I has this posted at PCTT (http://www.pctechtalk.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11134&perpage=15&pagenumber=1) when UTC merged..but since we are back and I just had to do this again..I thought I would re-post it here at UTC.

I noticed last week or so that the files in /Windos/Internet Logs were growing. After a little research I found that if you have a freeze or crash it will create a backup file called xxx1.tmp, xxx2.tmp..etc.
Well I had 40MB of these .tmp files...they can all be deleted without hurting ZA or your settings....I did keep the one called xxx1.tmp just in case...I had up to xxx41.tmp.

Anyway to do this:


Click on the ZA Tray Icon, click Overview..uncheck the Start with Windows box..say Yes for Shutdown.
Reboot.
Go to Windows/Internet Logs..delete all the .tmp files that you want (I kept 1).
Empty Recycle Bin.
Restrt ZA..click on Overview & check Start with Windows.
Reboot...thats all.


If you cannot delete the .tmp files..do it from Safe Mode.

This time I deleted 146MB of stuff.

i was able to delete everything normally except for about 4 files (~ 8 MB). No need to shutdown ZA or anything :x

Shuting down ZA is more of a safety thing I think..so you don't have ZA running when your trying to do this.
Whatever works for you...thats fine..lol
