Thunderbird creates these nstmp files. It takes all my emails and duplicates them and takes up a lot of storage. My laptop is full, I need to make sure I delete these. The other day it created 7 of them. Only one is being contrary and not deleting. I just found this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Nstmp_folders And I found the file to delete: C:\Documents and Settings\<Windows login/user name>\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\<Profile name>\local folders It was listed there in local folders. So I deleted it. Hopefully it will stay gone now. Re-Na Scott McNay wrote: > >I wonder if NSTMP is short for "NetScape TeMP file". > >Why are you trying so hard to delete it? > > > --- avast!
