Google Chrome creates one each time you begin downloading a file.

These .crdownload files are automatically renamed when a download finishes successfully, but may stick around if there’s a tải về error.

Update : Microsoft’s new Edge browser is based on Chromium , so Edge will now create .crdownload files for the same reason Google Chrome does. Other Chromium-based browsers will create .crdownload files, too.

When (and Why) Chrome Creates These Files

Google Chrome creates .crdownload files for your downloads. For example, let’s say you start downloading a music file named Song.mp3 in Google Chrome. “Song.mp3” will appear in your list of downloads in Chrome, and a file named “Song.mp3.crdownload” will appear in your Downloads folder. This file will grow in kích cỡ as Chrome continues to tải về the file. When Chrome finishes downloading the entire file, Chrome will rename it lớn Song.mp3, removing the .crdownload tệp tin extension.

The .crdownload file extension indicates a tệp tin hasn’t finished downloading yet. Other web browsers may store in-progress downloads in a different folder and move them lớn your downloads folder when they’re finished, but Chrome just stores the incomplete tệp tin in your Downloads folder.

If you see a .crdownload file, kiểm tra your danh sách of Downloads in Chrome. You can look at the Downloads tray at the bottom of your Chrome window or click the menu and select Downloads. If the tệp tin is still downloading, don’t delete the .crdownload file — just let Chrome finish downloading it.

Of course, if you don’t actually want to download the tệp tin anymore, you can cancel the tải về in Chrome. Chrome will automatically delete the associated .crdownload file when you cancel a download.

Chrome Can Resume Downloads With These Files

You may have a .crdownload file lying around even though Chrome isn’t downloading something at the moment. Xuất hiện the Downloads page in Chrome and you might see a tải về that’s incomplete.

This indicates that Chrome was downloading a file, but there was a problem — your mạng internet connection could have cut out, or the server could have dropped the connection. You can also “pause” a tải về and resume it later, in which case Chrome will keep the .crdownload file lying around.

You can try clicking the Resume button. Chrome will try khổng lồ pick up where it left off and showroom the rest of the file to the .crdownload file. But resuming may not always work properly. You may want to lớn just start downloading the file from the beginning again.

When You Can Delete the tệp tin

You’re free to delete the file any time you like. If no downloads are in progress and you don’t need khổng lồ resume a tải về using the file, go ahead and delete it.

You’ll want to delete the .crdownload file when you no longer need it. For example, if you kiểm tra your Downloads thư mục and see files named tuy nhiên (1).mp3 & Song.mp3.crdownload, you can delete the one ending in .crdownload. That’s just an incomplete download file you don’t need.

If you see an old .crdownload tệp tin for a tệp tin you tried downloading long ago, you can definitely delete it. This may happen if you don’t clean out your Downloads thư mục regularly và overlook it.

If you try downloading a file & come back later to lớn see a .crdownload tệp tin sitting in your Downloads folder, the tệp tin failed to tải về properly (or is still downloading). You can then head back into Chrome’s download manager lớn retry the download. The .crdownload file provides a reminder that you were going to tải về a specific file, but that it didn’t arrive successfully.

So that’s what a .crdownload tệp tin is — a partially complete Chrome download. It’s an in-progress download, a failed download, or a paused download.
