Hi Dhennrich!

You can store them in system.TemporaryDirectory or use the os.remove function. [import]uid: 38658 topic_id: 16180 reply_id: 60238[/import]

Yes, everything that is stored in system.TemporaryDirectory will be removed once your app is closed :slight_smile:

To test this, open up a project in the simulator. Go to File > Show Project Sandbox , then save a file to the system.TemporaryDirectory. You should then see a Tmp directory was created, with your file there!

When you close the simulator ( Cmd + W ), you should see that folder was deleted. [import]uid: 52430 topic_id: 16180 reply_id: 60263[/import]

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for the info about the “Showing Sandbox File”!
I promise you I did not know about that and now I am able to see the temp recorded files when testing my chunks via simulator. :slight_smile:
