HelpDesk, NonLocal [14:25]: its a temporary files Dahl, Andy [14:25]: You can't delete all those files you selected. They are not all temp files. HelpDesk, NonLocal [14:26]: they are Dahl, Andy [14:26]: No. They are not all temp files. Just because something has the letters 'temp' in it does NOT mean it is a temp file. MasterOrderTemplate.xml, CoreTemperatureController.cpp, and UpdateTemporaryJobPostings.SQL are resource that I NEED. They are NOT temp files. HelpDesk, NonLocal [14:27]: while we run this search (.*temp.*) we will get only the temp files Dahl, Andy [14:27]: No. You will get every file that has the letters 'temp' in the file name. Not all of those are temp files. HelpDesk, NonLocal [14:27]: No not like that what happens is temp files are system generated it should not be the original file that you have on the folders in order to resolve the issue i need to delete it even the next level will do the same Dahl, Andy [14:30]: With all due respect, I'm sorry but I can't allow you to delete those files. Not all of them are temp files. HelpDesk, NonLocal [14:30]: alright i will assign this ticket to next level

We here at The Daily WTF though only commit to important resolutions. Achievable goals that impact our daily lives.
Here are some of our goals for the coming year:
