This is the weirdest problem yet...I have dozens of tmp
files in My Documents and I can't get rid of them. It
all started when I tried to burn a long document onto a
CD. It didn't work, but it caused about 12 of these
files to be created (they have a little Notepad or
Wordpad icon, an "S" squiggle lying on its side and names
such as WRL3155 tmp. While working on a document, the
screen told me I was out of disk space and to clear some
files. When I looked, there were 30 of them! Like
rabbits. So I deleted them all.

But just now, I was working on the same document
(actually a new version of it) and the same warning came
up on the screen and all those files are back! How can
that be? I I cn't delete them because the scxreen says
they are in use! Worse, the computer couldn't save my
changes to my document because there was no disk space.

Please, what can I do? Thank you.

You are likely to get these files while you are working on a document. They
are usually deleted automatically when you close the file. If you are saving
to a CD, however, you will not be able to delete them.

No, I didn't save anything to the CD. I tried, but it
didn't work. And there are now over 30 of these tmp
files using up all my disk space. As I mentioned, I did
delete them and they came right back! I have no idea how
they do that, but I truly need to get rid of them.

Also, for the very first time, "My Documents" shows a
Back-up file for every single document I have. I never
had this before. It began when the tmp files showed up.
I was terribly worried while editing this book when I
found I couldn't save my changes, since the computer said
I had no disk space left. I have plenty of space, but
not with these files. Plus, the screen says I can't
delete them because someone is using them, yet I have no
documents open!

Hello June,

Are you absolutely sure that you have plenty of disk space left? What is
the size of your C: drive and what percentage of that is free? If you
have 30 temp files that are taking up all of the space, how much space
do those files occupy?

Yes, I have enough space. Thanks somuch for thinking of
this. According to my computer, I have a total capacity
of 111.75 GB and only 10.56 GB are used, leaving 101.18
GB free. It is just so strange that that a singular
problem trying to burn a document caused so many temps
and whatever other kids of files to appear..dozens of
them. I finally was able to delete them from My
Documents when I am working in Word. However, they still
show up when I am working in Outlook Express and I want
to send an attachment. When I open My Documents to grab
an attachment, all those extraneous files are still
there! How can this be?
