Temporary files in using Visual Studio 2022

Fix:

1.      Clear Temp Manually/ Automatically

·         Press Win + R, type %temp%, and delete unnecessary files.

·         Use Windows Disk Cleanup or Storage Sense to automatically remove temp files.

2.      Check Visual Studio Settings

·         Go to Tools > Options> projects and solutions

·         Look for paths pointing to Temp and Redirect them to another drive if needed.

3.      Disable Diagnostic Tools Auto Collection

·         Go to Debug>Windows>Show Diagnostic tools.

·         In settings, disable Enable Diagnostic tools while debugging if you don’t need it(This can generate very large .dmp and trace files in temp.)

4.      Limit or clean component cache

·         Run in Developer command prompt for VS:

·         This clears cached component data.

Devenv.exe /clearcache

5.      Check extensions

·         Some extensions(e.g., ReSharper, code analyzers) generate lots of temp files.

·         Try disabling extensions and see if the problem reduces.

6.      Update Visual studio

·         Make sure you are on the latest VS 2022 version – some builds had issues with excessive log/temp file creation

7.      Redirect TEMP folder(optional)

·         If space is limited, change the TEMP/TMP environment variables to another drive with more space.
