11GB in this invisible temp folder

[patent10021]

Recently I am getting disk full messages when performing the simplest of functions with my HP scanner. I delete a bit to gain storage space back but quickly the message comes back after I scan a few docs.

So I surmised that it's a temp folder somewhere and sure enough there is 11GB hiding out here:

/private/var/folders/rs/5n3rrgc13zn2znxfx96xmq0h0000gn/T/TemporaryItems

(10.89 GB on disk) for 398 items


Every single file is named "hpf…TMP" so this is obviously the culprit. Why does the scanner do this? There are no settings to prevent temp files. I'll just delete all of them except of today's.

Are you using Image Capture or some third-party software?

HP scanner software storing temp files perhaps ?

Yup, that's what I was saying above. There are invisible temp files put there by the crap HP scanner software.

What kind if software keeps an invisible temp version of your scans even after they've been deleted? Nuts! 11GB of temp files! Yikes.

And no there are zero HO settings to turn off anything to do with temp files or cache or anything. Unbelievable.

Cheers
