I was doing a tiny clean up and when I went to C:\Users\My_User\AppData\Local\Temp there were over 4000 folders (mostly from VisualStudio) getting over 14 Gb space...
Just a CTRL+A and then Supr just deleted 99% of the folders.
At work I have 2019 and 2017 parallel and has not seen that behaviour yet. (Not sure if there is an auto delete mechanism in that folder though, my C:\Temp there is auto deleted when logging out)
Does VS does the same on your systems? 14 GB in temp files without having updated recently... I find a bit too much.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Nope. I have only 1500 files in the Temp (most of them seems to be from VS), but those sum in less then a half GB...
I have 2019/2017/2010/2008 side-by-side (however it is very rare that I use anything else but 2019)...

very interesting. I will have check my personal and work machines.

Way too many programs litter the temp folder. I have an old script that I wrote that deletes anything older than a month as well as all empty folders under temp.

I usually don't care because I restore from a clean image once or twice a year.
But this time it was a   surprise

I complained about this issue to MS Visual Studio Support
I was told that is how the Software Works just do not worry about it
translates to Buy a bigger hard drive we do not care what garbage we save on your computer
My view it is no longer my computer
I also can not turn off the constant nag to use Git and something is always running in the background after I log out of VS 2019 and shut down my Windows 7 64 bit machine

Thanks for that.
You know, I've just run through that TEMP folder on my machine and opened a sample of weirder ones IN Visual Studio just to see what's what ... and it occurs to me that prapps I should periodically go to this directory and zip up all these files and store them on Drive Z:\ so that later on, when I have time or accidentally experience a rush of adrenaline through my cerebral cortex (when I can't help myself from getting to them again), I'll see if I can't leverage some data storage paradigm in SQL, to do a permanent dump on a disk closer in the stack to my C:\ SSD.

No no no, that's just wrong.

Horrific? Perhaps . . . but think about the lounge clientele and the countless dietary perversion posted heretofore.
It won't be long before they crumble bacon into their coffee.
Cheese? Bacon? Scylla! Charybdis!
And they'll move on to tea, as well.
I've oft pointed out there's no cure for stupid. Neither, I'd wager, is there a cure for bad taste.

yeah, that's just wrong. Like wrong on an international, no, galactical level.

Yeah, it is hard to understand why one should ruin such a good cheese...

I drink mine with hot chocolate.
Cheese that is!

Strangely enough, I haven't seen that flavour combination on Masterchef, but ... it's not as bad as cheese in coffee!

I think a chocolate coffee is common enough.
We have the Wiener melange, which is choco coffee, but which is not how they drink it in Vienna 
We also have the choco coffee, which has less choco than the Wiener melange, I think.
I found both to have too few chocolate so I now take an espresso and add a cup of hot chocolate to it.
It all comes from our coffee vending machine at the office.
Basically, I don't drink coffee, but I sure as hell need my shot sometimes.
By sweetening it with chocolate (which has lots of sugar from those machines) it becomes bearable.

Never heard about it until now.
But after having checked it out it seems to be something people in Tornedalen are doing.
Tornedalen is a valley on the northern border between Sweden and Finland, and about as representative for scandinavia as the Orkney islands are for the Irish.

I think you need to include more than just Tornedalen. I think most of the samis use or at least used to have "kaffeost" in their coffee. They also used to put salt in the coffee.
My mother used to make "kaffekött", translates to coffeemeat, which basically was ribs of a "cow" in the oven for some time, I don't have the recipe and she's gone to a place where she can't answer any questions, so I don't know how long. Since I don't drink coffee I don't know exactly how it would alter the taste of coffee. It was fairly salty so I imagine it wold be a bit like salt in the coffee.
