user/local/Temp/...../db/holdemManager2.sql twice? Can I delete it

[MomWasRight]

I have 2 SSDs with 256gb each. One I use for Windows etc., the other one just for HEM and PostgreSQL.

By the time, my free diskspace on both disks reaches a critical level, so I am figuring out what to do.

On my Windows-SSD I found two files in
/user/local/Temp/...largenumber1.../db/holdemmanager2.sql
/user/local/Temp/...largenumber2.../db/holdemmanager2.sql

with about 30gb.

Why is that? And do you think I can delete them?

btw I have a very large DB and I've been trying to backup my DB overnight. On the next morning it says something "backup completed" with no error or whatsoever, but on my backup folder I find nothing, so there is no backup.
Purging hands also doesnt seem to work. I still can see villains sessions of villains in 2013.

Thank you!

I am not sure what those files are for but your temp folder can be cleared without worry. I use CCleaner every few weeks to clean out my temp folders/files with one click.

How much free space do you have on your system/C drive and how big is the database according to the HM2 > Database > Database Info menu? You generally need more than twice as much free space as your database is big according to that menu.


Please see this FAQ to clear up some more free space - http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/ques...+of+Disk+Space


If you continue to have problems you can try moving the windows temp directories that we use for these database procedures to another drive that has more free space - http://forums.holdemmanager.com/gene...t-working.html


If you continue to have problems:


Please enable the Settings > Feature Logging > [x] 'DBControlPanel' option and increase the Max number of log files option to 10 so old logs are saved with date/time stamps.


You can also enable this before you launch HM2 from the Start Menu - http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/ques...ging#startmenu


Please reproduce the problem and attach your log.txt file with a detailed description of what you were doing and what problems you were experiencing - http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/ques...ger+Support%3F
