high number of temp folders "chrome_BITS_xxxx_xxxxxxxxx

[dornech]

Hi there, compared to SeleniumBasic I recognize a higher number of temp folders being created. I think in the past one folder was created per session. Now several folders are opened, probably a temp folder per webdriver call. Any ideas?
I mean, it does not do too much harm because I delete such folders via a more general cleanlup commandlet - but it is not "nice" anyway.

I'm on Windows 11 and I can't replicate. I've looked at "C:\Users[my user name]\AppData\Local\Temp" and cannot see many temp folders created with that name (actually, only one created a week ago, not associated with tests that I ran today). I'm travelling so can't try on my Windows 10 machine. Maybe someone else confirm whether they have found same?

Basically these folders are said to be remainders from Google update. However, I wonder why Google seems to increase update frequency.

You mean remainders from Chrome browser updates? If so I don't know the answer but seems likely to me that it is unrelated to SeleniumVBA. But let us know if you discover something different...

Seems so and this is what you find when doing some research int he internet. I thought probably an (hidden) parameter in the profile/option migth influence this.
