  • Temporary not purged automatically

    DSAP shows a large amount of temp files on a disk. On closer investigation I found out that there are temp files but are not opened by any processes. This should not happened as closing a temp file should it automatically deleted. Attempt to manually purge them returns an error 12. Has anyone encountered this and how to fix this?
