Temp Files

[jmolinejr]

Hello,
I'm back with another one. I go to windows explorer and see temp files. I also find temp in windows. What can I safely delete out of these files and what should I not delete?
Thanks, John :confused: :)

John, if you have restarted your PC and there are files in C:\Windows\Temp, delete them (to recycle bin).
Restart a couple of times and if no problems, wipe them off.

As for other Temp files (like Temporary internet files, you can delete those to your heart's content. The only side effect of this may be slightly slower browsing time as your system must re-download all content from sites you regularly vist instead of using locally cached files (which is what you are deleting).

Hi all,
Thanks for the tips, but the power went out after I deleted my temp files and then, when I rebooted, my screen was scrambled. I opened in safe mode and all was ok. I checked device manager and all was ok. I restored temp files from r-bin and before I checked on that, I reinstalled my driver. Now I don't know which one was the problem.
Thanks, John :o
