    I'm working on a medium size database project, things seem to be going well but my project folder is being overun but tmp files(8.46MB of them to be exact). Am i not doing something i should be or am i doing something i shouldn't?
    Considering the whole project folder is only 11MB i thought maybe this might be odd.

    I don't think it could hurt much. Temporary files store temporary information, sometimes programs forget to delete them. VB Studio 6.0 did this to me when I installed it, all tmp files were at 0 though, so I assumed it was safe to delete them. Nothing happened. And nothing that VB can't always right again.

    For faster deleting of tmp files:

    Code:
    Kill "C:\myfolder\*.tmp"
    'or
    Shell "DELTREE /Y C:\myfolder\*.tmp"
    
    'WARNING:  CAREFUL USING BOTH OF THESE!
    'COULD DELETE ALL FILES INCLUDING IMPORTANT ONES!

    I think what it was is, i've had a problem with VB6 crashing(personally i blame ME) on this application design, I think since the program was not terminating properly it was not cleaning up the temp files

    or Martian spies were planting them there, either or they're gone now and everything is still running
