Deleting Checked Out Documents

When a document in a Document Server Library or SharePoint Server Library is opened, its copy is created and saved in the check out folder. A document saved in the check our folder is saved as the newest version in the original location when it is checked in or when its check out is canceled, and then it is deleted from the check out folder. However, even when the [Check in automatically after exiting the application that is editing documents] check box is selected, the document may not be automatically checked in depending on the application that opened the document. Therefore the copy of the document in the check out folder may not be automatically deleted. In this case, you should manually delete the document in the check out folder.
