What are the list of programs or softwares that create a temp file?

Question

theres something in my temp directory that uses it so i can't delete.

Answer 1

Almost any program that you run *can* create a file in the temp directory although most programs won't.

The name of the file may give you a clue as to what's creating it.

When you try to delete the file, do you get a warning message that the file is in use? If so, the program that's using the file is running at that time. You may be able to find it with Task Manager.

Answer 2

I would also suggest to use unlocker..it's great. Almost each and every program uses the temp folder.Go to the following site http://www.filehippo.com/download_unlock...

Answer 3

If you're using Windows, then you should use software called 'unlocker'.

If you try to delete a file that is in use, 'Unlocker' will tell you what process is locking it and offer you the option to either unlock it, or maybe delete the file after reboot.
