TOCA2 demo left baggage on my hard drive

Some time after uninstalling the TOCA2 demo, I realized a dir named something like TOCA2 in my windoze temp dir, approx 42 megs of the installation files. I don't recall any problems during install/uninstall, maybe someone else would care to check theirs. Brett

Those files are probably the "temporary" installation files created when you installed the game. You _should_ be able to safely delete these files after the installation. Simon

The installation routine will NOT delete them, but you CAN. Just go to your temp directory and press CTRL-A to select all the files and press DEL. "Gunner" ORSA Bronze #78 Navy Dodge

Did that right away, temp dir is fair game with a bullseye. Just thought it odd that I would be left with that type of refuse after a seemingly eventless uninstall. Ah, well. Brett

Yes, I had the files also and you can delete them. Sloppy though, the installer shouldn't leave 40+ megs of temp files on your system drive. Joe

Obviously the install from CD wouldn't want to try to delete files from the CD. They COULD, however, have set up Winzip to delete it's files when done... But it's not the fault of the install routine: it's the fault of whoever set up Winzip for 'em. "Gunner" ORSA Bronze #78 Navy Dodge

Just checked my temp directory and it was b*** with all kinds of stuff including TOCA2 installation, GPL installation etc etc I managed to reclaimed 100Mb by trashing it all, Cheers, Paul > Some time after uninstalling the TOCA2 demo, I realized a dir named > something like TOCA2 in my windoze temp dir, approx 42 megs of the > installation files.
