Hi,

Is it safe to clear the dftmp folder (C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\dftmp) on a VM running in Azure?

Kind regards,

T

Hi T,

When you run a cloud service on the development fabric, it stores a number of files including local storage locations, cached binaries, configuration, diagnostics information and cached compiled web site content in C:\Users\username>\AppData\Local\dftmp. If you clear the dftmp folder it will reset the deployment counter.

You could refer the following links for further details:

However, if you are running out of space in Azure and need to clear up the Temporary folder, you could clear the dftmp folder.

Malar.
