    I had thought my system to be clean, however, I was just scanning thru the system and found a large lot of temporary files and am about to delete them all. Does it remain true to always delete temp files anytime, any place we find them?I am running a Lenovo desktop, with: Windows 10Microsoft 365 Home/Personal / actually not specified

    Windows 10; After Each Prt Job, .TMP File Left in Printers Folder; Can't Delete, Error in Printfilterpipelinesvc.exe

    Hello,

    For us to isolate the issue about deleting a TMP file after a printing job, kindly respond to the questions below:

    • When did the issue started to occur?
    • Does the issue persist when you print using another device?
    • Is your printer a wireless printer?
    As a first troubleshooting step, we suggest that you download and run the
    printing troubleshooter
    .

    We look forward to an update from you.
