Question

New User Windows 10 - lots of NGL Client temp files filling Temp folders

As the title says, new to CC Desktop. Installed and works. Set preferences. Installed Bridge to test before buying a Photography Subscription.

 

I get an awful lot of temps files and folders. I thought I had read the Adobe CC only checks for Genuine Software infrequently. The Scheduled Task in windows shows every 6 hours. But I get things much more often.

 

I have paused syning as I do not use the cloud. Would prefer to disable rather than pause. Some of the files are from CoreSync.

 

Not all of the are the same. DO note names and timestamps.

 

Let's share a few images. Would appreciate learning what is wrong and how to either minimize these or have a way the unused are automatically deleted. I am very savvy so get technical if needed. Thanks!

pause remains in effect through computer restarts, so it's more a stopthan pause.

 

after a cc desktop update, check if you need to pause again.

Thanks for the reply. but much more important is all these continuing temp files and how ofyten they are created. I much more need to know what to do about them.

 

They should have named PAUSE to STOP then, but again, I'd like help with how to stop all these temp files that do not delete themselves.

More and more temp files now in more folders continue to build everyday. Never seem to drop off. Will still like to know what causes these, especially com.adobe.dunamis log files that are created when ANY CC app is opened and how to automatically keep these more tidy. No reason these all should be saved.


These all subsided after my last post and were self purging anything older than 7 days. Was working fine. After the last or perhaps one before last Creative Cloud update, they no longer auto-purge.

The Task that appears to check for Valid License runs twice a day and I would think that was what was keeping the files under control, but no longer. And it is more than these two directories, but these are the worst offenders.


Does auto purging there still work for anyone else? Andy ideas?
