I think you can open your temp folder and delete what you no longer need. I can't check for sure now, I hope this helps.

If they are part files (.MC8 files)then I say of course.

I cant understand what else would be in there?

I am sorry I dident make it more clear in my first message. It is not .Mc8 files in the common/temp folder, it contains folders with som 5 digits numbers that contains some no sense last names. There is a temp folder in Mcam man folder, but isent sure why there also should be one in Mcam/commen/, I just wanted to find out if these could be bad to delete.

 

Thanks

The numbers are a date/time stamp of a time when you ran two instances of Mastercam. Mastercam used this dir for lastchain, tempnci, database overflow ect. The folders can be safely deleted.

 

4.5Gb sure is alot, never seen it that big you must be very busy! Normally Mastercam deletes this temp dir, when you exit. Unless you crash Mastercam alot you could have some funny permisions on that folder.

Thanks for the answer, that makes sence. This computer is being used by 3 other guys, who always have 3 or 4 different windows open , so they just are maximazing and minimazing each others window.

 

Thanks again
