I am running WAMP server. On file upload using PHP I see
$_FILES[tmp_name] => string 'C:\wamp\tmp\phpD382.tmp' (length=23)
I go to that folder and it's empty. I made sure my 'show hidden files' is on from my 'folders option' but I don't see it. Where is it exactly?
Besides when does it get deleted? If I don't move that file? For an instance if I'm uploading a file and the file uploaded halfway and I decided to close that browser what happens to the file? When does the server know to delete that temp file?

php stores all temporary files, that includes uploaded files, in the temporary files directory as specified in the php. ini. Note that for uploads, those files might be removed as soon as the script the file was uploaded to was terminated (so unless you delay that script, you probably won't see the uploaded file).
Files and directories located in /var/tmp must not be deleted when the system is booted. Although data stored in /var/tmp is typically deleted in a site-specific manner, it is recommended that deletions occur at a less frequent interval than /tmp.
Most of the time, they'll be deleted automatically — if they're not, you can go in and delete them yourself without any worries. Most programs will create temp files in a folder called C:\Users\AppData\Local\Temp — that's likely where your computer stores the majority of your temporary files.
Where are temporary files stored? Temporary files are stored in several different places, depending on what has created them. Those created by the system are stored in C:\Windows\Temp However, applications also create temporary files, and those are stored in your user folder in the application's App Data directory.
As soon as your PHP script finishes executing and re-saving to the defined location
