Deletion does not help, they creep back in. > Their sizes are all zero bytes... I I use desktop-save - misconfigured? I don't actually know what component of emacs are generating these files. I have some of these, too, and I don't use desktop-save. However, what are you doing inside the .emacs.d directory? As I understand it, this is a directory where emacs and emacs extensions can put their files, not a directory where you should keep your configuration or other elisp files. Move your stuff to .elisp, .emacs-lisp.d, whatever, and be happy again. 8-) HTH, Anselm -- Anselm Helbig mailto:anselm.helbig+news2009@googlemail.com
