How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. In reply to Ronnie Vernon's post on October 12, The application diretory is containing the main exe file and also an Uninstall,exe.
What's the purpose this directory serving? Nirmal S. In reply to Robby Ames's post on October 13, This site in other languages x. Several of these folders are created each day at the same time I have Windows update scheduled to apply updates. They are all empty, and they can be manually deleted. So, the question is "where can I look to find out how to tell windows to stop leaving these folders on my disk? This is not an accurate observation. However, product installers executed locally may chose to extract their installation files into a folder of the root of the volume with the most free space.
Absolutely agree. However, in such instances, and presuming familiarity with the behavior of the likely FEW installers that would be executed on a Server Operating System, it is also possible to PRE-extract those files onto the volume of your choice.
Lawrence Garvin, M. First, I'm not a sounding board for official complaints to Microsoft. They have channels for doing that if that's what you want to do. I also, unlike a Microsoft employee, have the right to bail on the conversation when it becomes too pedantic. Or perhaps a more fair answer would be that it's not exclusive to Microsoft. Microsoft products have been known to exhibit this behavior, I'm not denying that fact. So while I feel your pain Well I can confirm this behaviour categorically.
When running Windows Update in the cases I have observed for WHS - we use them as little test targets for our development it will generate folders like the ones described on the drive with the greatest available space - There it decompresses the updates prior to installing them.
We have verified this in multiple examples looking at the actual files. It also only occurs during running an update something we only do manually on the test systems.
So this is clearly caused by an MS "feature" of Windows Update. It's a nightmare for us because it pollutes data which is supposed to be an exact image of our test data and the Update junk gets synced up to our SAN.
Ok then ALL product teams are doing it. Curiously these all chose to put their temp files on the largest drive then to make the Windows Update Service Team look bad? Should we then complain in every single product area?
That seems a lot of excessive cross-posting especially when they only time this happens is when doing a lot of updates through Windows Update at once. Still feel Update is the culprit here. It went straight for the 10TB array on V:. Now, if your gripe is about where the working directory is built, then I'd say you're barking up a tree you'll never climb.
If your gripe is about installers that fail to clean-up after themselves, then I'm totally on the climb with you I'm just saying you need to be climbing the right tree. My gripe is actually both because both behaviours are just dumb There are numerous examples where updates need to be kicked off manually and similarly many situations where certain drives should be off limits.
Then to rub salt in the wounds all these temp folders get left behind. That's been like that for 15 years, and software engineers way above the pay grade of either you or I had very distinct reasons for designing that way, I'm quite sure. As for the failure of certain products to clean up after themselves, I think I've said all that can be said there too. There are ways to address this issue, although I'm hard pressed to understand why "certain drives" should be off limits to a process running in the context of a system administrator anyway who, by definition, has access to all of those drives.
Above my pay grade If you don't understand why we would manually kick off updates then you don't live in a real world which needs to quickly respond to business needs or realign with testing schedules.
In fact if you don't understand why drives should be off limits you don't understand anything about enterprise configurations - it's fantastic to attach 10 new servers to the SAN, have them all patched to very specific but different patch levels for testing and find that by morning said array has been shotgunned with literally tens of thousands of files.
Anyway, clearly this is the Micosoft zealots thread and any further discussion is a distinct waste of time as you are not interested in investigating a solution but developing a PR standpoint. Google led me to this den of patronizing MVPs. Like the original poster, I simply wanted an answer to the tech question, not a long thread of pompous rebuke and diatribe about forum catgories and the different flavors of Microsoft setup EXEs.
If the question is in the wrong category, just move the question thread to the correct category and notify the member silently. NET Framework 4. BTW, I was compelled to install. NET 4. NET bloatware and probably is not even worth the bother. So, rather than pompous self-aggrandisement "Badges" and "awards"? What is this, grade school?
If you cannot do that, just remain silent and spare us from your useless, transparent, self-serving answers for your "badge" points. I just discovered the reason my Windows Home Server C: was out of space Like the previous poster, I assume there is a registry entry of something I can set to direct Update somewhere other than my intentionally small C: volume.
I wondered if a symbolic link might work. There is no wrong tree it's just people trying to get help where we can. Many of us search bing or google for similar answers and up here. You can easily delete the files and restart your PC after they have been deleted. Normally, the task is done by your computer, but you can still perform it manually if you choose to.
A temporary file, also known as a foo file, is created by your operating system when you run or complete a task on the computer. When you are using programs or applications, temporary files are needed since additional storage is required to accommodate the increased memory and file usage.
Temp folders are generally safe to delete. You should delete your Temp directory as soon as your computer is rebooted to ensure your safety. It is possible to delete them safely. By doing this, you can avoid problems with fles that are still in use. Now type temp in the search field and hit Enter to complete the process.
You will need to go to the temp files location in step 2. Changing the name or destination folder of the report view can be done if you choose to save it as a report view. You can edit the options, make the changes, and click OK by clicking Edit the options. Cognos Content Database is an Apache Derby database that can be installed and used as the default content store if it is installed. Cognos Content Database can be used in situations where you do not want to implement a commercial database for the content store, such as in a proof-of-concept or test environment.
Cognos query engine can access the data sets in a columnar format, which allows it to load them into memory quickly. When files are uploaded, data is still converted to columnar format, but Cognos content stores the data.
