"Temporary ASP.NET Files" Not Being Cleaned Up

John Saunders

I deploy web applications in what may be an odd manner. For every web site
"x", I have an "x2" web site which points to an empty directory. I can then
use Copy Project in VS.NET to deploy to the empty directory, and have the x2
site QA'd. I then switch over by creating a new empty directory for the next
time, and in IIS, pointing the x2 site to the new directory and finally
pointing the "x" site to the newly-deployed directory.

This works well, except that I now have over 900Mb in Temporary ASP.NET
Files! Examination of some of the source files shows that they are from old
deployment subdirectories.

Now, if I always deployed into the same directory, I expect that Temporary
ASP.NET Files would come to contain only the latest versions. Is it perhaps
the case that there is no cleanup mechanism to get it to realize that these
old deployment subdirectories no longer are associated with any Web
Application?

Also, is there a way to move Temporary ASP.NET Files to a different disk? We
tend to keep our C:\ drives small, and 900Mb is now significant.

Thanks,

Hi All,

I would like to verify this, bit I don't know, where these temporary
directories are. Could you please be so kind and tell me that?

Best regards,

Deleting folder "Temporary Internet Files"

by: Rosa | last post by:

Hi, I'm trying to clear the TIF on Windows XP programmatically with the below code. This code works fine on any folder but the TIF. For some reason the atEnd() statements always defaults to true and no files are deleted in the folder. The peculiarity of this issue is that the files/subfolders cannot be seen through the windows explorer either. I can only access/delete them through a command shell. Any ideas?
