This is the answer directly from Commtouch:
"You can safely stop commtouch [declude] and delete all of these files. If any are needed, the application will download them again, but any handled in this matter should be a few days old. Usually Commtouch will clean up these files on its own, but at times problems do develop due to the index.dat file. If you see any .tmp files older than a month, it is a good sign that a delete should be done to clean up these temp files."

Thanks, I'll make it part of my monthly job that deletes files older than 30 days - that's "tight" enough for me. Of course, Declude or Commtouch should be cleaning up after itself (e.g., whenever new files/signatures are downloaded) - but that's a different story.

Hi David, A while ago I was told these can be deleted almost immediatly but.... the running DecludeProc service has them locked so it will be needed to stop DecludeProc, remove the temp files and then start Declude proc. As part of my nightly routine I have now: ----------<quote>------------------------------- Set LogFile=C:\Beheer\Logs\CleanTemp.log echo %Date% %Time% Starting CleanTemp >> %LogFile% Del /Q C:\IMail\declude\invuribl\Exception\*.* Del /Q C:\IMail\WebDir\WebClient\temp\*.* del /Q C:\IMail\Spool\tmp*.tmp net stop Decludeproc Del /Q C:\IMail\declude\scanners\CommTouch\Temp\*.* Del /Q C:\IMail\spool\proc\work\*.smd.tmp net start Decludeproc echo %Date% %Time% End CleanTemp >> %LogFile% exit ----------<quote>------------------------------- Met vriendelijke groet, Bonno Bloksma senior systeembeheerder tio hogeschool hospitality en toerisme begijnenhof 8-12 / 5611 el eindhoven t 040 296 28 28 / f 040 237 35 20 <mailto:b.blok...@tio.nl> b.blok...@tio.nl / <http://www.tio.nl/> www.tio.nl ----- Original Message ----- From: David Barker <mailto:dbar...@declude.com> To: declude.virus@declude.com Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2010 4:44 PM Subject: RE: [Declude.Virus] Commtouch/Temp files going back to last year?

Hi, That folder has over 1,000 files, some several MB large, CTM*.tmp, CTENG*.tmp and CTENG*.dat. How "old" do these files have to be, before I can safely delete them?
