    Hi, when I'm working with QtCreator (running on Windows) on a medium-sized project, my workspace starts filling with hundreds of files following this pattern:
    "mysource.cpp~RF1ebbd4ea.TMP"

    Closing QtCreator removes some, but never all of them!

    If this can't be avoided, is there a way to specify a different location for these files?

      Looks like https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-29942

      I assume you are using clangd from Qt Creator, right?

      At https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-24911 we get a link to https://issues.chromium.org/issues/41442542#comment22

      which points to the fact that Windows is responsible for creating these files and not removing them. 🤯

      Would be interesting to know more details about the Windows machine. Which antivirus is running in background and so forth.

        @cristian-adam Yes, the clang-plugin is active.
        OS is Windows 10 64-bit, antivirus software is Sentinel One.

            Since this is a Windows problem that is not easy to reproduce, I can think of:

            • disable antivirus
            • usage of a Dev Drive
            • using WSL2 with Linux to cross compile for Windows either using MinGW or msvc-wine
            • using a different operating system than Windows (Linux or macOS)
