Don't Know Which Temp File To Delete?
May 4, 2006Windows XP - very new beginner. Went through the whole process of finding all of the bad stuff. I am supposed to delete this, the temp folder. When I typed in the directions, (C:WINNT emp) what came up looks very different from what I saw at first. I did a search for Temp or temp folders to see if it was another one. I got a long list in each. What do I delete?

Mar 25, 2005Has anyone seen this file before,~DFEE9A.tmp.I'm trying to delete it out of my temp folder, because when i try to save a picture it will only save it as a BMP file. I can delete it in save mode, but when restart it comes back. I checked my startup folder and reg. but i don't see anything different in it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUnable To Delete - File Used By Another Program
Mar 8, 2005I have a file that I have no use for which I would like to delete. It is stored in an out of the way directory (not system directory of any sort) and I found it when I was doing some housekeeping. The name of the file is PKUNZIP.EXE and it would have been copied onto this computer a couple years ago with some other files. Now I know what pkunzip is, but xp pro this file certainly is not required. Alas when I try to delete it I get this: Error Deleting File or Folder Cannot delete PKUNZIP: It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using the file and try again. So I'm pretty determined to get rid of this guy, not because it's a problem, but because it's made me mad hehe. So I tried to boot up with a 98 boot disk and delete from DOS. No go, 98 boot wont recognize NTFS.

Going through work computer trying to delete large amounts of old files. Some of them are just photos (part of work practice). I can not access them, to open them for viewing, nor delete them. Not part of old programs, just photos or .docs.
Problem One: Opening a specific folder A.
First: causes major delay when I try to access the folder A
Second: Error Msg reads: The disk in drive C is not formatted. Do you want to format it now?
No, I really just want to delete it.
Third: Try deleting folder that the folder B that folder [B]A/B] is in, Error Msg: Cannot delete folder, the directory is not empty.
Unable To Delete File On Desktop?
May 18, 2006I have an incomplete install file on my desktop. It is an AVI preview program to view non-completed AVI files. Well, it never finished DLing so the file just sits there. I can't move it or delete it because it says it is in use by other programs, and when I double-click it, it says it is not a valid win32 application. It won't even delete in safe-mode. Any ideas?

Apr 14, 2005I have four user accounts on my pc. Recently I have had to reinstall windows, and I set up my users again, but I noticed that the old accounts were still there in windows explorer under documents and settings, even though they don't come up on the screen when the pc starts up. I've deleted three of them as they were just taking up room, but there is one left that I can't remove. A box pops up saying that it is unaccessable and access is denied.

Jun 30, 2009I recently downloaded a torrent file to my desktop. I immediately noticed the file did not look like it was supposed to, and the file is 0 bytes in size. I tried to delete the file, but I get an error message (Cannot Delete File: Cannot read from the source file or disc). If I try to rename the file, it stays highlighted and the error message will not go away. I have to reboot to get the error message off of my desktop. When I click on properties, I'm told the type of file is: "File", and the size, and size on disc is 0 bytes.

Aug 11, 2005It seems that Windows has gone AWOL again. I can not access certain websites.mostly ones that require secured access like financial websites: paypal etc. I can usually get the first page, but when I click sebsequent links, the browser says it can not find it. This applies to both IE and Firefox so the problem must be in the user profile of windows I presume.
My Norton's internet security no longer starts itself upon startup either even though I click the box for it to begin upon startup. In msconfig, Norton's is set for startup as well...
I don't want to system restore as I've had problems with deleting duplicate files and such

Oct 26, 2006I have a laptop, and a file named 1.tmp has appeared (how or why I do not know) in my c/windows/system32 folder that throws up an error message window saying it cannot find the program to run the tmp file, and that appears on my screen every time I log on.So; I thought I could simply go into the sys32 folder and delete the 1.tmp file by putting it in the trash can, as it obviously does not belong there.BUT it will not let me, if I try I get an error message telling me I do not have access or the disc is full even when I use the administrator level so now I am completely at a loss and I do not understand.

Temp Folders - Delete All Files
Nov 10, 2006I 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.

Apr 14, 2010I 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.

Jun 26, 2005I'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.
