Hi all,
I set up a quite simple test routine with a directory, 4 files, and a batch permanently changing a file, and let it run over night. The C: partition was 20Gigs total, 10 Gigs available, the 4 files were, in total, 3,5MB in size.
Checking my machine this morning reveled that C. was out of disk space. After some searching I found, that the temp folder of my user profile had grown to 10Gigs in size, taking all available disk space. In the "%temp%" folder there are 1436 dubious files, each named like ~vv***.tmp, where *** is a consecutive hex number. Each file has a size of 5-11 MB.
Q1: What causes ViceVersa to create such files and leave them behind?
Q2: if I try to delete these files, but cannot, because they are "in use". I closed vvlauncher, closed the ViceVersa GUI, searched for any ViceVersa service I could stop but found none, checked the Volume Shadow Copy service (not running ...) and wonder how I can get rid of those files without rebooting.
Any hints welcome,
Armin. |
