Ant Posted November 16, 2020 https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r32942152- and I noticed this too. I'm using SAS in my decade old, updated 64-bit W7 HPE SP1 PC. I don't run SAS all the time too (only manual updates and scans). Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It should be deleting the ones that it doesn't need. There's no way to know just from looking at the files if they are required, or in use by the software.

There's no way to know just from looking at the files if they are required, or in use by the software. Hmm, I wonder why it is leaving so many files behind then.

SASupport Posted November 20, 2020 I have a similar number of temp files as well. This is normal. You can continue to delete the temp folder as desired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
