Word creates unwanted copies of documents which I cannot delete
Word is automatically creating .TMP files, some named ~WRLnnnn or ~$nnnn,
some named Copy(nn) of ~Wrl, etc. When i try to delete these files, they just generate more copies - up to 200 or more. What is causing this, and how do I delete them? |

Also, if you don't have Delete permission on the folders you're using, Word
can't clean up after itself. -- Suzanne S.

Word creates unwanted copies of documents which I cannot delet
Hi Bob - thankyou for your response, which Incredibly, I missed at the time
it was posted. I just attempted to clean out 36 ~wrl files, and I assure you my Word has been closing normally. Deletion does not work, as every file I delete, a copy is created - 'Copy (n) of .. when I delete copy n, then copy n+1 is created. Any ideas?

Hi Suzanne - thanks for your response - sorry to be so long in responding to
you. Would delete permission be required on a single-user home system? "Suzanne S.

No, this would apply only on a corporate network, so there's something else
amiss here. -- Suzanne S.
