150000 audiotem files in the temp folder (explorer freezes)

Computer Aid Posted on 27 February, 2008 by Luigi Martin27 February, 2008

I was checking my “tv” PC (the one with ongoing problems, and not so good motherboard from Bxxxxxxp).

Since Cyberlink had asked me to increase the PCs virtual memory, uninstall any other video display/record software, and reinstall powercinema, I decided to do some maintenance (The PC seemed a bit slower than usual)

Thats when I noticed that viewing the contents of c:documents and settings{user}local settingstemp seemed to freeze windows explorer.

But other instances of explorer worked well until I tried to view the temp folder…

I restarted the PC, used explorer and clicked on the temp folder, then left the PC, and came back about 30 minutes later.

At that point, I could see that there were over 150,000 files in the temp folder… no wonder it took so long to display the contents

The main culprit was files named from audiotem1 to audiotem150956.

Ok, highlight all the audiotem files (which took another 10 minutes), and then delete (another 15 minutes).

Once that was done, I could finally clear the remaining files in the temp folder, and do a defrag.

I’m still not sure what caused this problem, but over the next few days, it didn’t seem to return.

The only unusual thing that happens on this PC, is that the 40GB hard drive sometimes fills up with video files (the cyberlink powercinema software seems to get confused and sometimes doesn’t know when to start (or stop) recording 🙁
