.file extension TMP - Temporary file
.TMPFile extension TMP description:
Temporary files are usually generated by software two reasons: a backup file or a cache.
In the case of cache files these can be generated automatically by programs that run out of memory space to allocate for tasks.
Temporary files should be deleted by the program that generated them, however sometimes (due to a software crash or poor software design) the .TMP files arent removed and, potentially can take up a substantial amount of room on your hard-drive.

Microsoft Windows is a family of operating systems by Microsoft. They can run on several types of platforms such as servers, embedded devices and, most typically, on personal computers. Microsoft first introduced an operating environment named Windows in November 1985 as an add-on to MS-DOS in response to the growing trend of graphical user interfaces (GUI) popularized by the Macintosh. Microsoft Windows eventually came to dominate the world's personal computer market.
