What are wbxtra_*.wbt Temporary Files on my Windows 7 computer? Can I remove them?

wbxtra_*.wbt Temporary Files are created when download and install the WebEx program to join a Web conference meeting. They are located in the \Users\<userid>\AppData\Local\Temp folder.

When you click the hyper link of WebEx meeting invite, your browser will prompt you to download and install the WebEx program. This will create a wbxtra_*.wbt Temporary File on your computer.

wbxtra_*.wbt Temporary Files are large files. They contain probably the entire WebEx program. For example:

02/10/2017  10:04 AM   20,971,520 wbxtra_02102017_100416.wbt
03/14/2017  07:33 AM   20,971,520 wbxtra_03142017_083351.wbt
03/21/2017  10:30 AM   20,971,520 wbxtra_03212017_113056.wbt

The problem with wbxtra_*.wbt Temporary Files is that each time you join a WebEx conference meeting, a new wbxtra_*.wbt Temporary File is created. So if you are using WebEx frequently, your hard disk will run out of space very soon.

Yes. You can delete wbxtra_*.wbt Temporary Files. They are useless, when your meeting is done.
