My way of handling temp files is to get rid of them daily. I'm aided in this by the fact that I don't run calibre round-the-clock in the systray. I normally update and add whatever books on Saturdays while giving my Kindle a charge-up at the same time. For me, I do a backup every day using Drive Snapshot. Drive Snapshot will empty the recycle bin. So, I use EmptyTempFolders and CCleaner to take a double-pass at getting rid of temp files that might be scattered about. I have, at last count, seven folders on C: alone called Temp. ETF2 does a good job of hacking away at those. CCleaner is a good fail-safe for ETF2 and gets at a few other places ETF2 isn't set up for.
So, my daily backup batch file, run at the ungawdly hour of 8:01am, has these lines at the beginning:
Code:
cd \apps\utils\EmptyTempFolders
emptemp2.exe /all
cd \apps\utils\CCleaner
CCleaner.exe /auto
Obviously, Dwanthy's version is really quite good, requiring no third-party software. But it IS Calibre-centric. My version, with the freely available third-party freeware, is more of a blunderbus approach, which might clean out more stuff, while giving up on getting stuff back out of the recycle bin if you discover the deletion a day late. (Which is why I keep 31 days of complete backups on NAS's and have a Carbonite Pro account).
