In Visual Studio 2012, I tried to do some search in:
Find in Files->Entire Solution
, then I get quite a lot results from files in
C:\Uses\myusername\AppData\Local\Temp\
. The files take the name like tmpE11.tmp.cs
or tmpFBEE.tmp.cpp
, the contents are identical to some of the files in my solution.
My guess is that it is caused or auto-generated by some crashes, but why are they reachable by the search? I doubt if I can simply delete them or not.
Maybe this is related to a bug reported, where lots of tmp files created and are then included in the Find Results. If I clear the 'Miscellaneous Files Folder' the search does not include the temporary files.
To display the 'Miscellaneous Files Folder' (see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/36bhtx7w.aspx):
In Visual Studio 2013 you can limit the contents to 0 which effectively prevent inclusion.
