Deleting .tmp files

[KingHilary]

As a general question, is it okay to delete files that have .TMP extension?

For example, my VideoReDo-TVSuite folder now has a number of smallish .TMP files and a couple of files labelled DVDtitle_0 ..... .VLST.

Will I break anything if I get rid of files labelled .TMP?

Thanks guys.

G'Day KingHilary,

By definition, TMP files are temporary, and should expect be subject to deletion at any time. In reality, a fair bit of software gets upset if you delete tmp files while the software is still running. It is perfectly safe to delete the files and temporary directories when the software is not running. The software will recreate files that it needs to run. (If it doesn't, then it is extremely poorly written, and by breaking it, you could actually be doing yourself a big favour)
