I regularely use CCleaner to quickly remove junk from my computer. It empties the "Temporary Internet Files" folder and many temporary files but it does not empty the "Temp" folder in Windows XP (C:Documents and Settings(Account Name)Local SettingsTemp) or the "My Temp Files" folder within the "Temp" folder. I've noticed that videos I've watched online get stored in this folder as well as folders full of virus signatures downloaded before doing free online virus scans. Consequently this folder can quickly eat up valuable space on my laptops little hard drive.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI was there today and her pc is soooooo slow! She knows nothing about pc's besides email and IM.First thing I was going to do was to delete all her temp files. Went to start, clicked on run, typed in %temp% and up came 2,049 temp files! Well, duh no wonder it's slow. I was explaining to her what 'temp files' are. But she doesn't even you the internet.The first page of her temp file was as follows:DF1CF4and when I tried to delete them it said : cannot delete ~~ DF1CF4: It is being used by another person or program.As I scrolled through the next few pages they seemed to be all alike, maybe a variance of the last two numbers.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've noticed that when deleting TIF's via Tools-Internet Options-Delete Files, that it takes far longer with my XP installation than with my old ME install. I see that the space allowed by default is 1192 MB. Is this the optimum size or should that be smaller to avoid accumulating so many files? I really don't recall what the setting was in ME days, but 400 MB seems to stick in my head.
View 4 Replies View RelatedA large number of files have started appearing in my WindowsTemp folder. They have the name CS.tmp where is a decimal or hexadecimal number. Most of them are
zero byte.Does anyone know what creates them? I can only delete them by using Safe
Mode. I thought they might be from Thumbs Plus (CeriousSoftware) but it is not running.
a while ago someone told me how to get rid of all my temp files while in SAFE MODE by going to START, then RUN and then typing in a command that i simply cannot recall. i've tried *TEMP*, *TMP*, *.TMP*......and many other variations, to no avail. could someone tell me what the correct command is?i just spent a couple of hours trying to see if my question was already addressed, but had no luck finding anything. forgive me if it's there, i just couldn't find it

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been handed down a computer. It's a Sony VAIO, and comes with two hard drives. Windows is installed on an 80GB hard drive, which had (when I first booted the computer) only about 0.5GB free.I eventually found out that the temp folder under "C:Documents and SettingsMY NAMELocal Settings" was taking up almost 60GB.I emptied it of all but two files, both ending in .tmp (i forget what they were called). They were both 144KB in size. I couldn't delete them as they were "in use".So why does the computer still think that the temp folder is so enormous? Right now it says 57.5 GB. What should I do about it? I have checked that hidden files are shown, and run Cleaner and Disk Cleanup.

Have a number of "Temp" directories on the C root directory (Directory names such as: "Adobe Acrobat.temp" - "Console.temp" - "Display.temp" - "DLA Writing.temp" - "McAfee.temp" - "Intel chipset.temp").
Near as I can tell these directories were created when I installed these programs, but not completely sure.
I have learned the hard way that, "Not all temp directories can or should be deleted."
