I've recovered my system, and all clients currently working. I did perform saves and recover from saves while performing this action, but to truthful when I deleted the .tmp files, I also deleted the default files that should have remained in the folder, that is why tmp files should be a TEMP folder and controlling files outside the TEMP folder.
I did keep my clients open while performing my deletes on the default subfolder, because I didn't want to risk deleting a file-in-use. everything is now working from the Credit Bests that I performed before deleting .tmp files, but on at least some of my default folders, I have lost the controlling files that should always be there. That's a easy fix tho, I'm a bit afraid that I might accidently create a credit best from one puzzle onto a puzzle it doesn't belong to…
like pauldunn said.
It is safe to delete the .tmp files, they should have been deleted automatically but you hit a bug where they are not. I've found the bug and I'll push out a fix for it as soon as possible.
Thank you very much tamirh. By the way, the buttons to register how well an answer is appreciated should not be by the reply button. I can't change it now, sorry for the wrong button push. These Logitech expensive mice have some real switch problems.. Gone thru three of them over the few months..

Haha, no worries. Yes there are definitely some odd behaviors with the interface on the forums/feedback pages.
Just a little add-in, the fix you provide should replace the default files that were in the proper ' Default ' sub-folder to puzzles. Thanks again.
In fact, any fix should include auto-deleting all those temp files. I know you realize this already, but sometimes people forget. Needless to say, I'm senile myself, and loving it. Great excuse for some of the stuff I pull.
Done to Ongoing as this is NOT resolved in the field and when status is DONE it is not visible to people checking for this bug. I have thousands and thousands of files in my filesystem because of it.
Please change status to DONE only after:
This will corrupt data for other applications as well in case the disk runs full. People will not be aware of what is causing it. If you run this on a work related PC you're in trouble !
