    I would put my PR hat on and answer your question with "unexpected results may occur" if you were to delete a temp file DLO was expecting to be able to use.

    I don't believe it would fail forever, though.

Ok, thanks. :)

I've got hundreds of GB of those files, lots of space to reclaim.

 

On my wishlist for DLO; maintenance jobs like deleting old temp files, deleting users no longer in the AD, deleting machines not backed up in x number of days and such things. I couldnt find that in DLO 7 either.

    Made a script and set it to run on a schedule over weekends... for anyone still using this product.

    x: (Whatever your drive is)
    forfiles -p "X:\DLO_EVA" -s -m *.tmp -d -21 -c "cmd /c del /Q @

    Cheers!
