I already have done this but this file still remains. There is no problem with
windows, the compute is like new and runs everyting else smooth. This is the
only problem i have ever had, i have even tried deleting the file through CMD
but no luck it still will not delete. Can you tell me what the pg_stat_tmp file
is used for?
