Hi,
I recently changed from Autodesk Inventor 2013 to 2014 and I have a problem with my temporary files..
Every second inventor makes temporary files at this location (C:\Users\DriesD\AppData\Local\Temp) until my free space of around 20GB is full, sometimes I have to clean up my temp folder 2 times before it opens a drawing. ( It then deletes the around 26GB of temp files ???!!)
It creates a folder Proteinrun that contains almost all of the garbage .. I checked my Application options, but I used exactly the same settings as I did in 2013 and the problem doesn't occur there. I also tried to reinstall inventor, but it doesn't help me.
Can someone please help me, it really slows down my work a lot and none of my colleagues knows how to solve this problem?

Grtz,
Inventor does indeed create those folders/files for all of the non-standard appearances you are using in your assembly. If you have a huge assembly you could see a temporary file/folder for each component in the assembly.
The real concern is why the disk is filling up - that shouldn't happen. Just wondering if there is something getting out of sync with Inventor due to the high speed of file/folder creation/access on the SSD. As a test, if you redirect your Inventor temp files to a non-SSD folder location, you will still see many files/folders being created for the same assembly but the disk should not be filled - can you confirm that ?
Thanks
Chris
Just some info...
second day after I've deleted everything in the proteinrun folder...
All the files created yesterday are gone.. It just left 3 folders.. The main mgr40_xxx folder and inside that the .copy folder and the deserializexxxx folder.
And today a new mgr40_xxx folder is there and inside that are 184 files and 18 folders..
seems to be "working as expected" I guess.. its cleaning out the files/folders when Inventor is closed. No problems with it filling up my SSD though..
Hi
I can confirm that I had the same effect when I stored my Undo Folder on an onther drive 😃 but like I already posted before I think it was the combination of creating the folder by Inventor en filling the folder by a virus 😃

Hello Grtz:
This problem has surfaced in our enviornment with the Autodesk Suite 2015.
Do you remember if you recall the name of the malware that Malwarebytes detected?
I am using just the free version and running a scan now.
We have the exact problem as you did back 1 year ago with the proteinrun folder.
Any support informaiton is highly appreciated.
Thank you
Jim C.
Its not caused by malware..
Its a BUG in Inventor that still hasn't been fixed/addressed "properly"
Well maybe not classified a bug just "poor implementation/improper purging that is leading to massive temp file sizes"
Many programs write to the temp files and leave stuff there.. Inventor is just doing MUCH more/saving more than other programs so it causes these problems.
Its all related to users who have custom material/apperance libraries.
Temp folders are created with image files,etc...but not deleted properly on occasion.
It seems many of the image files are delete but many are not.
My protein run folder current consists of (all from Inventor 2015 too)
18,738 Files, 3,866 Folders and 520Mb of data...
of which 490Mb of that is from 2014
The solution for now IMO is to just routinely delete all the folders in the temp folder every now and then until Autodesk fixes the problem (which could take forever).
FWIW I have a SSD drive (as I see that was mentioned as a possible "issue")
