Thanks for the extra info.

I probably will create an extra search.

The reason I like clean files is not really a space issue, it is a time issue. When you effectively (more than) double the size of your data files, then it has an impact on back-up times, on virus scan times etc. Even the amount of memory the prog uses may be affected.

On its own, this has probably a minimal impact, but when every program on your system leaves some "extra" data on your disc then it can mount up. As such I therefore try to keep some control where I can to keep un-necessary files from being created.

Since I do daily back-ups and scans, this does have a real impact on the time taken and the space required for multiple back-ups.
