ZTree doesn't have a file spec for attributes, but you can tag non-hidden *.tmp files in multiple steps.
Escape, to the directory window
Showall, or Global if you have multiple drives.
Tag all of the *.tpm files by doing one of these
Note: With this filter *.tpm,-~WRL????.tmp you could exclude the Word files.
Filter, *.tpm, return, Ctrl-Tag
highlight a *.tpm file, Alt-Tag, Extension
Untag the hidden files
Alt-Untag, Attributes, +H, return
Optional, only show the tagged files
Ctrl-Enter
Review the files in the list, and if happy do the delete
Ctrl-Delete
But why not just use this cmd.exe command?
del \*.tmp /s /a:-h
