Safely delete .exe files in "TEMP" folder??
Can all files in the Windows(r) 98 "TEMP" subfile be
safely deleted without harm to computer function? I attempted to delete some .exe files here and was warned by the computer that something awry could occur. Wouldn't it be safe to remove .exe files once applications are installed? Thanks, CNJ |

Safely delete .exe files in "TEMP" folder??
It should be perfectly safe to reboot then delete all contents of the
TEMP folder before the current session. ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/index.html In microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion, "CNJ" wrote: Can all files in the Windows(r) 98 "TEMP" subfile be safely deleted without harm to computer function?

Thanks, CNJ CNJ, Yes it's safe provided you boot into Windows, not Dos, and then do it before doing anything else. Some installs and changes use Tmp files to complete the process after a restart to Windows. Regards, Bill Watt Computer Help and Information http://home.epix.net/~bwatt/ |
