    I cannot figure out why AIM creates so many files during its session!

    YOU CAN DELETE EVERYTHING IT CREATES!! (Saving space)

    What is in these files anyway?

    I cant imagine how much space is wasted on someone's machene who doesnt delete them all after they close aim!! (More are added each time)

    Why do these programs create so many useless temp files,etc .. Just doesnt make any sense to me! (Why cant they be clean cut like some programs are (No cleanup required after use))

    Are they temp files or do you have "save my chats" to disk type option enabled?

    Yes i reckon they are just temp files Steve but the amount of files it creates is insane

    I wonder how many megs of TEMP FILES someone would have after 1 month using aim EVERYDAY..

    Dude - have you opened one of the files? Is it junk or are they recordings of chats? If they are recordings - look for the option to turn off that feature
