Loads of TMP files that cannot be deleted…any ideas please?
more info … please
I use junk file remover on REVO Uninstaller.
Very large number of files ending in tmp are found.
When I press delete it says unable to due to admin permission required.
where are the files located … full file path
C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast\avBCC2B.tmp
1 example
Avast protects its files, for obvious reasons with its self-defence module.
Also .tmp files may still be in use, but I don’t find any .tmp filed in my avast folder, certainly not the avBCC2B.tmp file.
Well there seems to be dozens covering 3 dates and only 3 dates. Might that have been when program was updated? 4/2/2016 …2/05/2016 and 1/6/2016.
And I hasten to add I use Ccleaner as well.
I also use ccleaner. Personally I would suggest excluding all avast versions and entries from ccleaner scan and cleaning.
You just have to look at the ccleaners Application > Utilities listing, it appears that it doesn’t/can’t tell what version you have installed.
Try that later maestro…thanks.
You’re welcome.
No change after amending Ccleaner…Not taking a large amount of space up so will live with the tmp files…thanks.
Disable the avast self defense, try to delete the files and enable the the self defense again.
Top man Eddy…carried out your instructions and bingo…all tmp files deleted…many thanks…
