Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes: a first memory that stores an information processing program; a second memory that stores a file-to-be-erased; and a processor. When executing the information processing program, the processor, when the processor executes a job which requires to generate a temporary file, selects a file having a size larger than a size of the temporary file out of one or more files-to-be-erased stored in the second memory, treats the selected file as a file-to-be-unerased, divides the file-to-be-unerased stored in the second memory into a first file having a size the same as the size of the temporary file and a second file being a rest, treats the second file as a file-to-be-erased, writes the temporary file over the first file as a file-to-be-unerased to thereby generate the temporary file, and after the temporary file is used in the job, treats the temporary file as a file-to-be-erased.
