Temp file trouble PerFlib PerData
I am having a hard time with a file named PerFlib PerData. I can not remove
it from my temp files. I does not show up in safe mode. From what I have read online it is a counter file. Ever time I try to remove it it tells me the file is being used by another person. I would like to know if anyone else has come arcoss this same file and if they have any idea on how I can remove it from my system? -- Thanks for all your help |

Temp file trouble PerFlib PerData
this file is being used by the .NET runtime, you have added a new
background program or service that is based on .NET. don't worry about it, the file is small and will go away after it becomes a day or two old (and you run the Clean Manager (Disk Cleanup)). it's just a temp file after all.... |

Disable the Performance Logs and Alerts service.

Perflib stands for Performance Library. Perfdata stands for Performance Data. The %SystemRoot%\System32\Perflib_Perfdataxxx.dat files are created by the System Monitor. And/or %userprofile%\Local Settings\Temp\Perflib_Perfdataxxx.dat. or C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\Local Settings\Temp\Perflib_Perfdataxxx.dat. When you shutdown normally, the file should be deleted. If you have an abormal shutdown, these files can become orphaned, and accumulate on your computer. Under some yet to be determined circumstances, these files can become orphaned during normal operation. The Windows Performance tool is composed of two parts: System Monitor and Performance Logs and Alerts. With System Monitor, you can collect and view real-time data about memory, disk, processor, network, and other activity in graph, histogram, or report form. To open Performance...

"MystyRayne" wrote in message
... *I just want to say I am having this same issue,and am going to try the easist one of these methiods first, via the perfmon.msc & hope it works!If not then I'll try the msconfig way,either way I hope one of em works.I run XP Pro,SP 2,and this is really getting to be a pain in the butt.Thanks for all the good ideas,will let ya know if any of it works! A new friend to the community, MystyRayne* What is the problem? Are they taunting you? http://forums.techarena.in Ohhh. My guess is that they are created by something running as "system" rather than "admin" and some braindead messagebox says another person is using it instead of another security principal or account is using it. Booting to another dissimilar OS that supports the file system and gives you admin privileges will probably enable you to delete the files, but they will be created anew when you return to your regular OS. Is there some privacy related utility that you are using that makes you wonder why some things cannot be removed from "temp" places? |
