Windows TEMP Folder
Okay what about my windows TEMP Folder?
I've frequently deleted all the contents of my windows TEMP Folder. IS this a good idea? Someone once told me that it was just taking up space. But I wonder if that were the case then why wouldn't windows just delete them itself? Are there any articles that would teach me about this Folder? Thank You Beau |

The above Google result will give you much info about the Temp folder. Yes, it can be cleaned out without problems. It is a good idea to clean it out prior to the installation of new software, but, keep in mind.......many installation programs use the Temp folder for needed files when a reboot is required.

It is there for a reason - which are many. but to clear it up you should be
using the "Disk Clean Up" tool in Windows ME. Start Menu, Accessories.....whereever it is on your system. "Beau" wrote in message ... Okay what about my windows TEMP Folder?
