shokan Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I have three folders under C:\ called ~ICFreespace****.tmp, where the asterisks are four numerals. The total volume is around 15 gigabytes. What are these temp files and what happens if I delete them? Thanks!!Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgate Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I have had a poke about on the web and what you have there seems to have caused few queries to be raised about it. One french person, if I understood correctly, has a very similar problem to you, with big files. Another person was wanting to do calculations with $iCFreespace and $iDFreespace, and it, the calculation, looked to be connected with swap file size. So my very imperfect logic leads me to think of swap files,( with possibly nothing now in them) created as a temporary measure during some procedure.If I was in your position I would open one, with whatever the present equivalent of File Manger is, and see just what is in it.edit:- damned spelling.

I also saw the French thread and couldn't quite get the translation. I'll look into this further.edit: I deleted them all and there seem to be no consequences.

Hb_Kai Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Problem with online translators are that they aren't exact. They translate word for word, not phrase for phrase. It still might not be understandable when translated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I have used computer translators for many years, and I have seen terrible results.However, Google Translate is the first that seems to do a decent job. It is even self-improving, by having users report bad translations, and suggest better translations. I am an occasional contributor to the Japanese:English service.

I am an occasional contributor to the Japanese:English service.I've found myself sending off correct Greek : English translations sometimes actually, and I do prefer Google Translate over the rest. Reviewers are also saying it's the best on the Internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
