TEMP folder Ballooning

Hello, Lois

some thoughts about TEMP folder.

sometimes, some users turning their PC`s OFF before backup uploaded to destinations.
as result - backup data in TEMP folder collecting, again and again.
Of course, there is a ways to clean this up - by OS scheduler or "Pre Backup" action.
BUT
It would be very useful to have a checkbox like a [x] Clean up uncompleted tasks in TEMP folder

one more thing about this - option to continue uncompleted tasks after PC is UP again, but a realize its not so simply, as it sound

Hello,

The idea of adding an option to clean up uncompleted tasks in the TEMP folder is excellent and could indeed be quite useful. Here’s a brief overview of the concept and how it could be implemented:

1. Clean Up TEMP Folder Option: Adding a checkbox like `[x] Clean up uncompleted tasks in TEMP folder` would help manage leftover backup data that hasn't been uploaded due to unexpected shutdowns. This would ensure that the TEMP folder doesn’t accumulate unnecessary files.

2. Handling Uncompleted Tasks: Implementing a feature to resume uncompleted tasks after a PC reboot would be beneficial, though it could be complex. It would require:
- Tracking incomplete tasks and their status.
- Implementing a mechanism to resume or restart these tasks once the PC is back online.

For now, using scheduled tasks or pre-backup actions to handle these issues is a good interim solution. However, suggesting this feature to the software developers or community could lead to its inclusion in future updates.
