Windows temp files
What is contained in the directories and files in
C:\windows\temp\? It seems as though the directories contain double of programs and files stored elsewhere, but I/m not sure. I would like to delete all of the subdirectories in Windows\temp\ but I'm afraid I destroy something I need. Do those files exist elsewhere as I think, and can I delete the subdirectories safely? I really need the space. Thanks. |

Windows temp files
Temp = Temporary. The contents of the windows\temp file is just that,
temporary files often placed there during the course of an application or driver install or update. This includes any sub folders. All can be safely deleted although before doing so it is ESSENTIAL to first reboot just in case you have an install under way and there are some files in the temp folder required to complete the install after rebooting. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Deb wrote: What is contained in the directories and files in C:\windows\temp\?
