MultipartFormDataStreamProvider Cleanup

Question

If files are posted to my webapp, then I read them via MultipartFormDataStreamProvider.FileData.

I Initialize the provider like this:

Answer 1

I know this question is old, but the best way I found to delete the temporary file was after processing it.

string root = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data");
var provider = new MultipartFormDataStreamProvider(root);

foreach (var file in provider.Files)
{
    // process file upload...

    // delete temporary file
    System.IO.File.Delete(file.LocalFileName);
}
