You see, like most LW users I will preview a download to see if it is worth keeping, now if it is not I will cancel the download and delete the incomplete file. However, if it is worth having I will then continue with the download, auto-deleting would add an extra-unwarranted complication.
As for cleaning up your HD, etc., well back in the day that was called “PC Housekeeping” and it is a chore that every PC user had to do on a weekly/monthly basis.
UK Bob | My daughter is 19 and has a year and a half old daughter herself...so, no need for me to worry about what she views.  You say you delete incomplete files, but that still doesn't delete the previewed files. There should be a short cut to cleaning those...no? If I were you, I'd take a look at how many of those perviewed files you have and then add up the number of megs/gigs they're using up.
Anyway, I hope LW will consider looking into this issue and see if there is in fact a way for future version of LW to handle those useless/unwanted/hard drive space eating files.  |
