Introduction: This article resolves the issue where ChemChart Data Functions are missing in Spotfire Analyst due to temporary file cleanup by system utilities.

Validated Scenarios:

Process Steps:

1. Close Spotfire Completely
   • End all Analyst.exe processes via Task Manager
2. Delete Temp Folders
   • Navigate to: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp\
   • Force delete:
     • ChemChartsDataFxns
     • ScriptSync
   • Note: Use SHIFT+Delete to bypass Recycle Bin
3. Restart & Verify
   • Launch Spotfire and wait 2-3 minutes
   • Check:
     • ChemChart Data Functions menu
     • Newly created temp folders with complete structure

Key Findings:

• Folder Existence Conflict:
  • ScriptSync fails if folders exist (even empty)
  • Full deletion forces proper ZIP extraction
• IT Environment Workaround:
  • Folder deletion works regardless of Storage Sense status
  • Batch script solution recommended for enterprises:

    @echo off
    rmdir /s/q "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\ChemChartsDataFxns"
    rmdir /s/q "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\ScriptSync"

Critical Note: This remains a temporary workaround until  next release with enhanced temp file management.
