Big Size "TempState" Folder Files

Dear Sharp3D team and fellow users,
I hope you guys having a nice day.

I want to ask what is the purpose of TempState files on:
\AppData\Local\Packages\Shapr3D.Shapr3D_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Are this a temporary files that I could delete or not? If I may know, what is the purpose of these file? Because these folder file quite consuming my storage.

Looking forward for the answer or solution.
Thanks.

Best regards,
KJen

Thanks to Shapr3D team for reaching me out via email.
This problem is solved now. Information from developer team said these file could be deleted.

Hi @KJen

Be aware that when you delete these files you also delete all the projects locally stored on the computer. I’ve just tried it right now (hopefully on a virtual machine that I use only for testing) and all my projects were gone.

If you have SYNC enable, I suppose it is OK as the projects should be retrieved from the cloud, but if you don’t ave SYNC enable (which is my case), you will lose your data.

So to be used with care, and as always, be sure to have a backup of your important projects before doing this kind of operations :slight_smile:

No, deleting the TempState folder doesn’t delete the designs.

My bad, you are right:

I delete the whole parent directory \AppData\Local\Packages\Shapr3D.Shapr3D_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

not just the TempSate folder.

Hi Istvan, does this apply to MACOS “tmp” folder too?

Strictly from a computer view temp folders are just for that temp storage etc. When in doubt zip them move a COPY then delete. If problem is created restore simple
