Периодически в разных папках появляются файлы с расширением tmp. Иногда они пропадают сами, иногда — остаются «навечно». Что это такое, как их удалить, и нужно ли их удалять? Это временные файлы. Их создает или Windows, или программа. Да, их можно спокойно удалять. А папки C:\Windows\Temp, C:\Documents and Settings\All users\Temp, C:\Documents and Settings\%%ИМЯ%%\Application Data\Local\Temp и тому подобные нужно постоянно чистить. Возникают эти файлы потому, что система не всегда справляется с самостоятельной уборкой мусора после своей работы. автор вопроса выбрал этот ответ лучшим Дельф 8 лет назад tmp — это временные файлы, созданные системой для определенных задач. Если они все еще нужны, система выдаст предупреждение при попытке удалить такой файл, и вот тут уже лучше оставить их в покое, если не уверены в правильности своих действий. А те, при попытке удалить которые система не ругается, просто занимают место на вашем компьютере и портят его производительность (если папки temp не очищаются, то в них может набраться несколько гигов мусора). Как правило, раз в месяц-два нужно проводить очистку компьютера от всего ненужного, в том числе и от старых файлов temp, а потом проводить дефрагментацию. Это значительно упростит вашему компьютеру поиск необходимой информации, он будет меньше тормозить и перегреваться, и, соответственно, дольше и более эффективно прослужит вам. владс 6 лет назад Изначально нужно понимать то, что любой файл, нужен для того, что бы него, помещалась та или иная информация, будь то словесная или техническая. Операционная система и ее программы, во время работы компьютера, автоматически сохраняют многие данные, а кроме того во временные файлы, попадают резкльтаты действия компьютера. В частности это касается (Temporary File), категория которых расширяется tmp. Когда завершается работа, данные файлы за счет программ, могут быть удалены, однако бывает такое, что они автоматически остаются сохраненными в специальных папках, предназначенных для этого. Поэтому их требуется отыскивать и удалять вручную. Не стоит удалять такие файлы вручную. Это займет много времени, можно случайно захватить и удалить что-то нужное. Стоит просто воспользоваться одной из утилит, которая удаляет с компьютера временные файлы, к которым файлы с разрешением tmp. Типа Ccleaner. Маловероятно, что среди этих файлов затесались вирусы. Поэтому их лучше не трогать, если нет острой необходимости в свободном месте на диске. А когда придет время, удаляем все утилитой. Или же чистим кэш самих браузеров, такой вариант тоже подойдет. kelly 5 лет назад Программы различных типов создают нужные им для работы такие временные файлы temporary — TMP. Их создает сама операционная система, а также браузеры, еще текстовые и табличные процессоры. После закрытия этого приложения, когда сохранятся результаты его работы, автоматически удаляются эти временные объекты чаще всего. Лишь в кэше браузера они сохраняются надолго, их нужно в процессе чистки удалять. В процессе дефрагментации следует удалять эти остатки. Круто 6 лет назад Файлы формата tmp являются временными файлами, которые создаются Виндовс, или же программой. Их Вы можете удалить спокойным образом. Они создаются системой для выполнения определенных задач, так же если они еще для вас являются нужными, то система будет выдавать предупреждение при попытке удаления. Если вы не уверены в том, что данные файлы следует удалять, то не следует до них дотрагиваться. Если же система не ругается, то удаление возможно. Во время работы операционные системы и многие программы сохраняют различные данные и результаты действий во временных файлах(Temporary File), они имеют расширение tmp. После завершения работы эти файлы могут удалятся программами, но могут оставаться в специальных папках для подобных файлов. Они не опасны, их можно удалить вручную, но нужно знать, что иногда можно потерять некоторые данные программ, но это не фатально. maste 6 лет назад TMP- это временные файлы, вирусы это или нет, зависит от ситуации, но чаще всего это просто какой-то журнал или кэш программы, необходимый ей для работы. В принципе после завершения действия программы эти данные чаще всего удаляются сами, если этого не происходит, то достаточно просто воспользоваться каким-нибудь чистильщиком мусора, он автоматически найдет и удалит все такие файлы, которые не требуются системе Это не вирусы. Файлы с расширением .tmp — это временные файлы, которые может создавать операционная система Window и компьютерные программы при их установке. От этих временных файлов вреда нет, но со временем они накапливаются и занимают значительное место на жёстком диске. У меня очисткой компьютера от таких файлов занимается программа Нортон 360 в автоматическом режиме. Красн 5 лет назад Нет, это не вирусы, это временные файлы которая создаёт ОС (операционная система). Но может быть и вирус, пробуйте просканировать систему. Но чаще всего это какой-то кеш, а возможно журнал, а не вирус. Программы могут сами удалять эти файлы (файлы с таким расширением). Знаете ответ? |
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computing, a temporary folder or temporary directory is a directory used to hold temporary files. Many operating systems and some software automatically delete the contents of this directory at bootup or at regular intervals, leaving the directory itself intact.
For security reasons, it is best for each user to have their own temporary directory, since there has been a history of security vulnerabilities with temporary files due to programs incorrect file permissions or race conditions.
A standard procedure for system administration is to reduce the amount of storage space used (typically, on a disk drive) by removing temporary files. In multi-user systems, this can potentially remove active files, disrupting users’ activities. To avoid this, some space-reclaiming procedures remove only files which are inactive or «old» — those which have not been read or modified in several days.
In Unix, the /tmp directory will often be a separate disk partition. In systems with magnetic hard disk drives, performance (overall system IOPS) will increase if disk-head movements from regular disk I/O are separated from the access to the temporary directory. Increasingly, memory-based solutions for the temporary directory or folder are being used, such as «RAM disks» set up in random-access memory or the shared-memory device /dev/shm in Linux.
A Flash-based solid-state drive is less suitable as a temporary-storage device for reading and writing due to the asymmetric read/write duration and due to wear. (See wear leveling.)
Traditional locations
[edit]
In MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows, the temporary directory is set by the environment variable TEMP or TMP.[1] Using the Window API, one can find the path to the temporary directory using the GetTempPath2 function,[2] or one can obtain a path to a uniquely-named temporary file using the GetTempFileName function.[3] Originally, the default was C:\Temp, then %WinDir%\Temp. In the Windows XP era, the temporary directory was set per-user as Local Settings\Temp, although still user-relocatable. For Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 10 the temp location has moved again to within the AppData section of the User Profile, typically C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Local\Temp (%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp). In all versions of Windows, the Temp location can be accessed, for example, in Explorer, «Run…» boxes and in an application’s internal code by using %TMP% or %TEMP%. As with other environmental variables, %TMP% or %TEMP% is synonymous with the full path.
In Unix and Linux, the global temporary directories are /tmp and /var/tmp. Web browsers periodically write data to the tmp directory during page views and downloads. Typically, /var/tmp is for persistent files (as it may be preserved over reboots), and /tmp is for more temporary files. See Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.[4][5] In addition, a user can set their TMPDIR environment variable to point to a preferred directory (where the creation and modification of files is allowed).
In macOS, a sandboxed application cannot use the standard Unix locations, but may use a user-specific directory whose path is provided by the function NSTemporaryDirectory.[6]
In OpenVMS, SYS$SCRATCH[7] and in AmigaDOS T: are used.

TMP is an extension generalized for the temporary files used in different operating systems. And as its literary meaning, a tmp file stores temporary data for any application or program that created it.
A .tmp file can be opened with a compatible text editor. And has an illegible string of text with a header mentioned on the top, that denotes the type of file or sometimes the associated application.
What Do tmp Files Do?
By saying ‘temporary data’, you can get a sense that it holds information that has a short-term purpose.
But what actual service of such tmp files is, can be derived from the points mentioned below:
- To store data that is being migrated between programs and systems.
- Creating backups of different versions of data that is currently being modified.
- To store data that serve a specific task.
- To optimize application run-time by storing large data temporarily.
- Storing copies of files that are to be used by different programs, processes, and threads at a single time.
How to Open tmp Files?
You probably found some TMP files and want to open them. TMP files can be opened and viewed with normal text editors like Notepad. But for whatever reasons you’re trying to open tmp files, text editors won’t be able show them in human-readable form.
You can open and use the tmp file if you know what format it should be in. For example, if your tmp file was created by Microsoft Word, the format would be in docs. So, you can change the extension of the tmp file into docs, docx, doc, etc, and expect it to open as a normal word file.
For others, check out Header using Hex Editors and search which program uses such a header. HxD editor is one free and open-source application you can use for the task.
- Download the English version of the app from their website.
- Right-click on the zip file and choose Extract.
- Then open its extracted folder and double-click on the
.exefile.
- Continue with the on-screen steps to complete the installation.
- Launch the app and click on the open folder icon on the toolbar.
- Navigate and select your tmp file.
- Check the first legible text under the Decoded text section and search which program uses the particular header online. Sometimes, the extension itself might show up.
Change the tmp file with an eligible extension of that program. Now, you can try to open the tmp file with that particular program.
Where are tmp Files Stored?
In Windows, tmp files are usually stored in the Temp folder located in the User’s profile directory. Generally, it can be accessed by typing the %temp% command in Run, however, it may vary according to the Windows version.
Similarly, Linux and Unix systems have their own /tmp directory usually residing on the root filesystem which is accessible to all users. Mac operating systems also store temporary files in the /Library/Logs directory within the root directory.
But do note that, applications on various discussed operating systems may place their temporary files in dedicated folders under the application folder.
How to Delete tmp Files?
As mentioned already, tmp files are rarely of any use, even if you open them. Plus, most of the tmp files are deleted after they serve their work. Or apps may store them in the volatile memory (RAM) so that they get removed automatically after a reboot.
But, the tmp files that are left out in your temp folder, are either deliberately stored by the developer for re-use or they didn’t think of adding codes to remove.
Unless you really know what you want to draw out of those tmp files, you can delete them and clear a chunk of used storage on your computer.
- Close all the open programs and press Windows + R to open Run.
- Type
%temp%command and hit Enter to open the folder holding temporary files in Windows. - Click to expand the Sort menu on the toolbar.
- Select Group by > Type
- Select all files under the TMP file group. Press the Shift + Del key and confirm the prompt to permanently delete them.
