Tmp Là Gì ? Phần Mềm & Cách Mở File Xoá File Rác, File Tạm Trong Windows

msdownld.tmp is a temp folder as you can find out with its extension. This folder is used by the Internet Explorer and is often left behind in the drive after the Internet Explorer has been installed. Since the setup file does not delete the temp folder due to the Microsoft design issue, you may see the msdownld.tmp in one or more of your system drives. However, there’s nothing to worry, as this folder is usually empty and hidden. It can only be seen when you turn on the “show hidden files” option from the View tab in the File Explorer. This folder is usually not harmful. However, if you are worried it may harm your system, you can get rid of the msdownld.tmp folder on your Windows 10 PC. Let’s see how.
