Anyone have a good solution for automatically purging this folder? The solutions on FMEpedia seem to be manual processes geared to Workbench on a desktop...
Question
Cleaning up FME Server temp files

I have some large processes running on FME Server and they seem to be leaving a lot of files hanging around in the "FME_TEMP" location (Users\\s_fmesrv\\appdata\\local\\temp). Ended up with about 40GB in there in a week, filled up the hard drive, crashed the machine.

+4You could potentially set up a FME Server script to perform this! In FME Server 2012+ there is the Utilities that perform similar functionality, so perhaps open one of them and customise it?
I'd personally just create a batch script that browses that directory and deletes things over a specific date and then schedule the batch script.
You could do it programmatically in Python, .NET, Java, etc as well.
Thus depends on what your preference is.

Thanks, I'll look at customising the FME Server Utilities workflows.

Hi Nic,
I'm not sure if it's the same issue, but I just saw an update to 2013-SP2 that might solve this. The problem was that FME wasn't deleting temporary files created during publishing a workspace from Workbench. It was essentially a permissions thing and this is now fixed.
Build 13472:
Fixed cleanup of temporary files stored during publication from Workbench (PR#44767)
That might be a different issue - you say your's are created during a translation - but it sure wouldn't help. In our case we found a temp folder on the FME store had - like you - 40gb of unnecessary files.
Hope this is of use.

Thanks Mark. I still haven't got around to installing Server 2013, so hopefully SP2 will be officially released by the time I get to it!

This issue still seems to be occurring in 2018. Will be reporting it.
