Temp Drive fills up, no more space

When I queue a lot of apps to download and install, I notice that after a successful installation the downloaded zip the file is NOT deleted from the temp location/drive. This means that after some installations the Temp drive/location will become full and successive installation attempts will fail due to insufficient disk space error.
Can I request that on each successful installation of an app the temporary downloaded zip is deleted? I also notice the same behavior if a zip is downloaded but fails to unzip then the zip file remains in Temp taking up space.

I will surely clean up the temp folder better than I already do today.
Anyway as a temporary workaround please use the Windows disk cleanup tool that can empty your temp folder.
You can even create a SyMenu autoexec on close task to automatically execute the clean up.
This is the procedure in detail:
- Create an empty SyProgram item and call it Disk Cleanup
- Point it to the file C:\WINDOWS\system32\cleanmgr.exe
- Check the flag in the autoexec on close checkbox
- Enable autoexec on closing in SyMenu Options - Events.
In this way you can clean you temp folder whenever SyMenu quits.
If you prefer the disk cleanup runs in unattended mode follow the instruction available in this page: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/253597

I use a RAM drive as my Temp folder ie: Drive T as RAM drive. I have a slow internet connection and I would like to download all apps offered. I can delete the temp files in the RAM drive little by little but this means I have to baby sit the Symenu application and watch the RAM drive , I can't leave Symenu to do this overnight as it will fill the RAM drive. Sure, I can quit Symenu and setup autoexec as you suggest but this means I have to start the download process once again to get the apps that failed due to insufficient temp space.
Anyway, I look forward to an update fixing this issue.
Thank you for replying and for making a great program.
PS Could you add toggle de/select all functionality to the getapps window cascade menu icon on column header.

Sure I can.
Anyway you know that you can use the SHIFT modifier to select more than one checkbox at the time, do you?
Check the fist checkbox on the top, then scroll until the end, and check the last checkbox on the bottom pressing the SHIFT key.
