Known problem, a known microsoft problem, word etc creates a temporary
file xxxxxxxx.tmp and then when the file is saved, it is supposed to be
saved with the contents of the '*.tmp' file with a new name and the
'*.tmp' file is supposed to be deleted, very often word etc doesn't.

You can hide the .tmp files with 'hide files' or you can add them to
'veto files'

I had the same issue when using vfs recycling. I solved it by using a cron
script that removed them on a weekly basis (name .tmp, mtime +7). I guess that
this is what recycle is supposed to do,  so no samba bug IMO.

Hi Rowland,
I believe the problem is in the time to delete the file.
Because when I try to delete the file through windows I can't.
I give the delete the file some and if I give a f5 it goes back to the same
place.
So I think that office is actually deleting it, but samba doesn't let the
file be deleted.
I made a cat here.
I used the hide file and put in the cron the find /data -name *.tmp -delete
until I managed to find a definitive solution.
I'm testing a windows server 2012 without antivirus.
In my smb.conf, did you find something that shouldn't be there?
Yours sincerely,
Gabriel O. Franca
