The settings button opens the settings dialog of ET Surface. On this dialog you can view the current temp folder (where all intermediate datasets created by the functions of ET Surface are stored) or set a new folder to be used for such purposes. ET Surface cleans the temp folder automatically, but it is a good practice to delete all the contents of this folder from time to time.
