    So from what I've gathered shadow play isn't the greatest for my ssd. I'm running a 120g ssd and 750g hdd. Default folders are my videos and the temp files are designated to user temp folder. It's constantly writing from what I understsnd and ssd aren't meant for that many writes. Some say the ssd will outlive it's use anyways but not sure what to follow.

    Anyways tonight tinkering around I created a folder on my Hdd named "shadow play videos" and inside thst folder created a folder named " shadow play temp".

    I went into the nvidia GE experience I think it's called and set the file destinations to their correlating folders.

    As a trial I saved a video and it made a few .tmp files in the temp folder I made.

    I then ran a clean up of the hdd and figured it would find the .tmp files and give the option to clean but it did not.

    So my question is, if I simply just manually delete these .tmp files on my new folder am I good? Or should I reser the folders back to default on my ssd.

    I'm not interested in moving the os temp and tmp folders as I'm not the greatest computer user and seems that some issues can arise. Trying to leave the os stuff together.
