Pickles the Great Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 I have a TON of .tmp files in my Temp folder, which is a total of 9GB. I'm not genius, but I'm pretty sure that's a lot.So I want to know, is it okay to delete them? Are they of vital importance that my software will fall apart without them? There are at least 100.

andsome Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Highly recommended, I agree with pops. Just a couple of points, when installing it, it will offer to install a Google tool bar, or could be a Yahoo tool bar, watch for this and untick it. Before running it for the first time have a look in Options/Cookies, and drag over all your log in cookies from left to right, so that they will not be deleted on clean up. You will be gob smacked at how much crud the program finds on the first use. I quickly run it at the end of every day, that way there is no build up. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshnic Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Temp folder is ready to delete at any time. Temp folder contains files temporary used by softwares. If you download a file it may temporary go to temp folder until you copy it to some other folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
