Description
DO NOT REMOVE OR SKIP THE ISSUE TEMPLATE
- I understand that I will be blocked if I intentionally remove or skip any mandatory* field
Checklist
- I'm asking a question and not reporting a bug or requesting a feature
- I've looked through the README
- I've verified that I have updated yt-dlp to nightly or master (update instructions)
- I've searched known issues and the bugtracker for similar questions including closed ones. DO NOT post duplicates
- I've read the guidelines for opening an issue
Please make sure the question is worded well enough to be understood
as far as I understand the files in the %temp% folder generated by yt-dlp.exe are supposed to automatically delete themselves, however only some of them do and most remain on my pc taking up gigabytes of space
I think this happens most often when I'm running an mpv playlist as I haven't noticed them not being deleted when running a single streamed mpv video but I'm not entirely sure about that
what can I possibly do here? what could be the cause and what is the solution? I'm looking for a more in-depth explanation rather than just a workaround like creating a batch file to remove these files and running it on startup
UPDATE: after further observations I came to believe that this problem only occurs when I skip to the next video before current one ends its startup loading - perhaps the cleaning function gets stopped because of it?
Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem
- Run your yt-dlp command with -vU flag added (
yt-dlp -vU <your command line>
) - If using API, add
'verbose': True
toYoutubeDL
params instead - Copy the WHOLE output (starting with
[debug] Command-line config
) and insert it below
Complete Verbose Output
