temporary file deletion.

How can temporary files be deleted in windows 10?

Hi v8sprint,

Welcome to the forum.

To clear temporary files in Windows 10:

• On bottom left of taskbar click Search
• Type Disk Cleanup in the search box then press Enter key
• Once it calculates space to be saved check boxes you wish to clean, then click OK

Or. In File Explorer right click on a drive, click properties, click Disk Cleanup. Same from there on.

I've also been known to use
Ccleaner https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard
TFC http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/files/file/187-tfc-temp-file-cleaner-by-oldtimer/
ATF http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/atf_cleaner.html
Often one right after the other. They seem to always pick up a few megs here or there that the other one missed.

Trouble recommends TFC. I've never seen a thorough clean up of temp file that like TFC does.
I find that %temp% works well.
Before you open and clean the Temp Folder; first close any running Windows programs, click Windows key+R. and type %temp% in the Search Box and open the temp folder.
Quite often you'll see a message that says that a particular file(s) can't be deleted, just skip those items and allow Windows to continue deleting the other remaining contents of the "Temp" folder.
When the "TEMP" folder is emptied, restart the computer to allow the changes.
