***SOLVED*** Preview leaves behind copies of project directory

[leontet]

Hi there!

I'm facing a problem I don't know if it is a general one, as I haven't seen any other reports about this issue on the forum.

Each preview through the WWB installed Web Server leaves behind on my system disk a copy of the project directory (and its contents) with a long variable weird name followed by a dot and the name of my WWB project, like:
94DB123DF439426cABA56687CCB71D1E.MyProjectName
556109A883AB4692B413CFF661BED74C.MyProjectName
41D29E3AF4924d828EA697767C29CD14.MyProjectName

These directories are located in C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Local\ (NOT in the Temp subdirectory!).

They are left behind after I close the preview and even after I close the program entirely.

The "Remove preview files [...]" option in settings is (and always has been) checked.

The directories are created and left behind in the same place no matter the location of the Preview folder (Temp Windows folder or anywhere else, even on another local drive). They filled my entire system disk, as each of them is almost 200MB and I found literally hundreds of such directories.

I mention I use WWB v17.1.2 on a Windows 10 Pro machine fully updated.

I think this are 'auto recovery' files, generated by the Windows 'Recovery Manager'.
This is standard Windows functionality, so WWB has no control over this.
But you can disable this in Tools -> Options -> Backup -> Recovery manager.

Hi, Pablo!

Thank you very much for your amazingly quick and comprehensive reply!

Indeed after setting "Restart Manager" (in Tools/Options/Backup) to "Never" the nasty directories ceased to appear.

Problem SOLVED!!!
