Removing files from Temporary ASP.NET Files directory

[hsueh001]

I'm working with the DotNetNuke Portal application and coding my own module. Sometimes I get an error, and have determined that removing the files from the Temporary ASP.NET Files directory and re-compiling fixes the problem. The problem is I have to re-boot my computer each time to delete these files. Is there a way to delete the files from the Temporary ASP.NET Files directory without rebooting?

 

Thanks!

You could try killing the aspnet_wp process.

I've tried that. 95% of the time that DOESN"T do it. I still can't get rid of the temporary files. I can't figure out what is holding the #@*$(& lock on those files.

These are the things I've tried...

1. Closing out of VS and reopening.

2. Killing the aspnet_wp process

3. restarting iis

4. restarting the local sqlserver

 

Nothing seems to allow me to get rid of the temporary files.

 

Anyone know of a way to determine what is locking those files? I'm at wits end. I'm rebooting my machine as frequently as 2-3x per hour as I'm coding and testing. And waiting for windows to reboot is not fun. But... so far a reboot is all I can do to get rid of the files. What sucks is if I reboot and forget to delete the files and start up VS and run the app. I get the same error... And have to reboot again. So I'm assuming the Temp files are some sort of cache.

 

HELP!?

Is the Indexing Service running? That has prevented me from deleting asp.net temp files.
