| 204196 | 2003-12-30 08:52:00 | Some weeks ago I had a clean out of my 4 gig HDD as I was running out of space. Today I found that the gig of space I created had virtually disappeared, most of it swallowed by a file called nim4711.TMP. This file was created on 23/11 and runs to over 555Mb. I have no idea what this file could be and have no way of opening it to find out. I am especially concerned as I also have a plug in hard drive which has the same file name on it, created on the same day. The only difference is that this one is over 840Mb. I copied the 555Mb file to another drive and deleted it off my main drive with no objections from windows and the puter still boots and runs ok. Does anyone have any idea what this file might be. Cheers, Sunbeam |

| 204198 | 2003-12-30 10:47:00 | As it has a file extension of .tmp you should be safe to delete and forget. If it was something that hadnt finished, it will do it again later. Throw it. |

| 204199 | 2004-01-01 00:02:00 | Thanks to you both for your help. Yes, I still have both files stored on a different drive just in case they should prove necessary. Just scared me to think I could come up with a total of 1.4 gig in one day that I knew nothing about. Cheers, sunbeam |
