Temp folder and Creative Cloud

[Guest]

Is Creative Cloud or CC Applications using Windows Temp folder? I use to delete regularly the contents of this folder.

The temp folder under Windows is used by CC for saving temporarily available updates or complete application downloads while the download and install process is going on through CC desktop app. The Local/Temp folder for your user account contains useful logs like amt3, oobelib and PDApp logs which can be used by Adobe technical support for investigation purposes on encountering application malfunctioning issues. You may clean both Temp folders but by skipping these above files listed.

So...to continue a thread from over four years ago...

I don't really understand your "by skipping these above files listed"...it sounds as if you're saying it's NOT OK to delete these "oobelib" log files? But I have HUNDREDS of these files in my Windows Temp folder, and each one is 10 - 12MB, and they date back to 2016. If I open one of the files, it's mainly hundreds of lines saying stuff like "No value for key [SN] in hive [V7{}AcrobatCont-12-Win-GM{|}ja_JP] in cache : 519". Maybe of use for debugging, but who's interested in a problem from over a year ago?

So...I'm assuming I CAN delete these files safely. Or can't I?

I have (and use regularly) Adobe Creative Cloud (most apps) installed.
