[2.0.0.1beta] Burp doesnt clean up after itself when closing

Chris | Last updated: Aug 27, 2018 02:30PM UTC

After working on any project and closing burp, when burp is reopened, you are always prompted with the "Delete old temporary files" popup. The only time I saw this on v1 is when burp crashed, which leads me to believe this is just a bug with v2

Thanks for your message. Are you closing Burp gracefully?

I am. I'm closing it using the "X", like I do for every windows application. Which is also the same way I used to close v1. But I just tried using the "long" way of "Burp" Menu > "Exit" and it reacts the same way. (since I didn't mention this on the last message, I'm on Win 10 - 1803)

Thanks for the additional information. These files aren't anything to worry about, you can go ahead and delete them.

I'm running v2.0.03beta on Windows Server 2016. I ran a single instance, exited it gracefully, and after opening it again, I was asked if I should delete old tmp files and "199 more". So I can confirm this issue as well.
