obliterate temp files?

[zumafan]

Hi

In the admin app, obliterate tab, I see a lot of files that look like this:

~sakba8cfa5101ds89df.tmp etc
and
~sakba8cfa5101ds89df.vbproj

a) are we doing something wrong with vault to cause these? (a la Windows corrupted temp files)

b) is it safe to obliterate these?

Yes, you can obliterate those files. They are actually created by Visual Studio during binding/unbinding of a solution to source control, and are not necessary afterward, which is why Visual Studio deletes them.

If those temp files are unnecessary. Would it be better that Vault Server ignore them? (not storing them in the Vault database).

We have to store them because Visual Studio tells us to (just as it tells us to then delete them). We must honor all valid requests from valid clients, even if the client is telling us to do something silly for its own purposes.
