Why we like it

Auto-Save File Checker earns its place in the superhive library by pulling scattered auto-save and .blend1 backup files into one browser, with search, sorting, statistics, and bulk delete controls for recovering work or clearing storage.

What is Auto-Save File Checker - Browse All The Temp Files?

Auto-Save File Checker is a Blender add-on for managing, browsing, and recovering auto-saved and temporary .blend files from a single interface. It automatically detects Blender's temp and auto-save directories, scans system temp folders, and needs no manual configuration. Both .blend files and .blend1 backup files are detected, bringing files that normally stay hidden into one place.

The interface includes a quick access panel showing the five most recent files and a full browser window for managing everything else. You can search files by name, sort by Date, Size, or Name, and filter results in real time. Two view modes are available: a Detailed View showing complete file information including paths, and a Compact View for quickly browsing many files at once.

Bulk operations let you select multiple files with checkboxes and delete them in one click, or clear all temp files with a safety confirmation. File statistics report the total number of temp files, the total disk space used in MB or GB, and the count and size of selected files. A demo video is available.

Frequently asked questions

What Blender versions does Auto-Save File Checker support?

Auto-Save File Checker supports Blender versions 2.93 through 5.2 and is listed as Blender Extension compatible. It installs as an add-on, so it runs within that range of Blender releases. Because the supported span is wide, it covers both older project files and more recent builds. If you run a version at the edges of that range or want to confirm behaviour on a specific build, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing, since supported versions can shift with updates over time.

Is Auto-Save File Checker free to use?

Auto-Save File Checker is listed as free here in the catalog and is distributed under the GPL license. For current licensing terms and any additional details, check the developer's page directly, since terms can change over time. The GPL license governs how the add-on can be used and shared. Anything shown elsewhere may differ from what you see here, so the developer's page remains the best place to confirm the current terms before you download or install it on your system.

Does Auto-Save File Checker find auto-save files automatically?

Auto-Save File Checker automatically finds all Blender temp and auto-save directories, including system temp folders, with no manual configuration needed. It detects both .blend files and .blend1 backup files, so files that would otherwise stay hidden become visible in one interface. Once detected, files appear in a quick access panel showing the five most recent entries and in a full browser window for managing everything. That means you can locate auto-saves without hunting through folders yourself, and browse them alongside their file statistics.

How do I delete unwanted temp files with Auto-Save File Checker?

Auto-Save File Checker handles deletion through bulk operations. You select multiple files using checkboxes and delete the selected files in one click, or clear all temp files at once with a safety confirmation step. File statistics show the total number of temp files, the total disk space used in MB or GB, and the count and size of selected files, so you can see how much space a selection covers before removing anything. Sorting by size also helps surface the largest files first.
