I have noticed that on my SD card in the root directory I have hundreds on .tmp files such as "DiskCacheIndex14179.tmp"

I have been manually been deleting these on a daily basis however is there an automated way to do this?

I have them too, left them for the mo - (there is loads of them)

i would not mind if they where in their own folder, but they are on the root of the SD card

The tablet doesnt seem to understand folders on the SdCard .. .well not the apps installer I was using anyway

I put loads of .apk files into different folders, browsed to the SDCard and it just showed them all as if they were all on the root

I agree on how aggrevating the tmp files are, having to scroll down past hundreds of them whenever I use the file explorer, so I've been deleting them too.

I know I already posted this elsewhere, but only just seen this thread, so:

It's an app called 3D Gallery which does this. If you've rooted your scroll, you can remove or rename the apk in system/apps. I haven't had the tmp files for several days now. The 2D Gallery app still seems to work OK and no other side effects noted so far.

If you aren't rooted you can pickup and install "Gscript Lite". Add a new script, call it "delete tmp" or whatever, make sure the "Needs SU?" box ix not ticked, and type the following:

cd sdcard
rm *.tmp

Once saved, you can add the script as a shortcut to your main screen. One click and all your tmp files will be deleted. Until they re-appear :)

It's a cooliris app, supposed to be a wonderwall full of your images... takes too damn long to load the thumbs in and crashes frequently trying to open an image... Sent to the eternal recycling bin and no more temp files here either now :)

How does one uninstall this app?
