Hi,  
My disk was filling up and tracked it to the Rapidweaver tmp folder.  
…/Library/Containers/Rapidweaver/Data/tmp/  
Are these folders/files required, or can they be deleted.  
I got up to over 200GB.  
I am on 9.4.1  
Thank you,  
Greg

Ah yes, you’ve hit the overzealous stacks plugin image backup issue!

You can safely delete the tmp folder, just make sure RapidWeaver isn’t running at the time.

This is over 2.5GB of stacks “back-up” images, and at 200GB, your list must be MUCH, MUCH bigger 😱 YourHead really should get this fixed…

Thanks Dan,  
I’ll delete the folder.  
Cheers,

An easy way to find the folder?

Press “Command-Shift-G” in the Finder, and paste in the following Path:

```auto
~/Library/Containers/Rapidweaver

```

You should then see the Data/tmp folders.
