Temporary file extensions

Temporary file extension list

File extensions used by operating systems or software applications to store temporary data.

Temporary file types are created by computer programs to hold information temporarily, for example when a program cannot allocate enough memory for its tasks, when the program is working on data bigger than architecture's address space, or as a primitive form of inter-process communication.
Temporary files are often stored in special directory, which is created by operating system or by application using this file. Some applications don't delete their own temporary files, because of crash or don't have temporary file delete algorithm in source code. Over time can temporary files use many of disk space, but could be deleted by user without any unwanted effects such as system or application crash. There are plenty of utilities, which can help with disk cleaning and delete temporary files. The common file extension for temporary file is tmp or temp.
