In a folder containing several PowerPoint Presentations and Spreadsheets, I discovered the following file:

Name:  ppt115.tmp
Size:  160 MB
Meta:  No EXIF or other metadata
Type:  (as identified by the cygwin / linux program 'file')
       Composite Document File V2 Document, No summary info

Notes:

  • The filename does not correspond to other files in the directory.
  • Neither MS Power Point nor Excel can open the file.
  • MS Word will only attempt to recover text.

Please help me identify this file. Is it just a temporary file that I can safely remove?
