This is important, I think.
I started to do a lot of recording with CEP about three weeks ago, and after I burned everything to CD and dumped the tracks from my hard drive, I noticed that I had very little hard disk space left, and that every time I used CEP, there was less and less free space left. This was even though I was saving everything to CD-RW, leaving nothing on the hard drive, and emptying the recycle bin regularly. I was down to about only half a gigabyte of free space when I found the answer. I noticed there were loads of CEP files in Windows Temp. I deleted them all freed up about 1.7 gigs on my hard drive!
Every time I had created a folder to put Cool Edit files in, a temp file had been created.
Every time I recorded something, a temp file had been created. Some of these files were huge - 300 megs, 400 megs. The software was eating my hard disk, or more accurately, stuffing it full of rubbish.
I'm relieved to have a solution, but I'm wondering if this is a Cool Edit quirk, or if I'm doing something wrong (somebody suggested maybe I wasn't closing out of the program properly.) Maybe it's a setting I made when I installed CEP. Anybody else have this problem?
