But anyone who adds a .tmp suffix to a file deserves to get it deleted - especially if it's also called Erase
And yes, 39,000M = 39G
It might be a hidden file.

If you can find a small one, try attempting to open it with a text editor to see if that might tell you what's in these files.

Use it at least once a week, and keep your machine free of all the rubbish.....

Quote from: jimbo99 Thanks for your help axisofevil and Denzil have deleted the folders and have gained 30gb of disk space. Will try and find out what and where the folders came from. Thanks once again
Whatever you do don't try and open a multi-Gb file. Just keep a regular eye out for any similar new files appearing and open them when they are small. Like axisofevil says, you may find a clue as to what is creating them.
Ccleaner will help get rid of them, but if you can identify the source you may be able to find a setting in the application to turn off logging or somesuch.
