    hello,

    I have a little problem with 7-Zip 4.65.
    I tried to extract a 5Go zip and unfortunately the process failed.
    but my problem is that 7-zip creates around 4Go of temporary files during the process and those files weren't deleted after the crash. and now i cannot find those file to erase them.

    so if somebody know the directory of 7-zip temporary files it could be wonderful !

    thanks

      Hello lepapy (sorry for my ingles), I had the same problem and fix it .
         
      I say as I did :

      The first is change the config for hidden files and folders :

      As we all know we can change the settings to show / hide hidden files and folders from "Folder Options" which can be found under Tools menu in Windows XP or in Organize menu under Windows Vista and 7.

      The second is search the folder for tmp files of 7zip ,    
      I work with vista (I do not know your s.o.),but I think others do not have to change the path too, I guess it will be in the private folders of the user, in some temporary directory with name "7zip"
      this folder is in the following path:

      c:\Users\(The name of the user)\Appdata(this is hidden folder)\local\temp\7zip*****.tmp\yourtempfilecorrup.iso

      also you can search the name of the file that is inside the 7zip compression file because the leaves of the same name

      or search by date of the day and it did discriminate on size

      Good Luck  ;)
