<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>Thanks all for the discussion.</p>
<p>In our specific situation we need to put all Processing related files outside of the C: drive. One of our users made a large analysis on a shared Windows application server and put the whole server to sleep because the C:\ drive went full - I have to admit that the available storage on the C:\ drive was rather limited (only 80GB) for ten simultaneous users. But users were never supposed to store anything in the C:\ drive ... I hope that we convince our IT services to offer more storage on such servers - nonetheless. Maybe there are also policies our IT servers could set on the C: drive to prevent it from running out of storage (maybe some quota).</p>
<p>So for the time being we have to overwrite the "TMP" variable specifically only for QGIS and also set the setting for "default output files" to a folder outside of the C:\ drive.</p>
<p>Thanks and greetings,</p>
<p>Andreas</p>

<br />Just to round out this discussion - if QGIS does crash, then these<br />files are still likely to be cleaned up by the operating system<br />itself. E.g. on linux they'll be cleaned out at next reboot.<br /><br />Nyall<br /><br /><br />

I assume after the process finished - but what happens if QGIS crashes wile processing is running? Will QGIS clean up the old temporary files when it is started the next time?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Andreas<br /><br />On 2019-11-25 11:06, Alexander Bruy wrote:<br /><br />Hi Andreas,<br /><br />Processing keeps al temporary files and outputs in the user temporary folder,<br />e.g. C:\Usres\user\AppData\Local\Temp\ on WIndows by default and /tmp on Linux.<br /><br /><br /><br />пн, 25 лист. 2019 о 11:53 Andreas Neumann <<a href="mailto:a.neumann@carto.net">a.neumann@carto.net</a>> пише:<br /><br /><br />Hi,<br /><br />I would like to know where the temporary files of QGIS processing are stored?
