Can I remove folders under C:\users\name\AppData\local that are empty?

There are about 200 cases such as 0A39E2CB-EC8A-4DE7-A00E-then string of numbers on my computer under the AppData\Local folder.

When I click on one and check the properties, it shows that the bits 0 to folder.   However when the audit file history can say he has updated

same day only when I'm checking.  I know she has bits 0, it is not taking a lot of space, but what are these files and can they be removed or limit

too many of them?

Thank you

Hello

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
The folder is empty, but in fact, it contains the hidden files and folders. Files and folders are created and used by various applications. But, if you are sure that there are no file or folder even if you enable the display of the hidden files and folders, with the files and system files, (it's very unlikely, but it is likely), you can delete the folder, but pointed out that the folder will be created again.
Folder names you mentioned are created by various applications. As mentioned above, their removal will prevent dependent applications to work properly.

    It is generally safe. Applications do not normally permanently store files there. If you're worried, use disk cleanup (cleanmgr) to clear the TEMP folder. By default, disk cleanup does not remove the files/folders that have been accessed in the last 7 days.

  • Users /(user name)/AppData/Local/Temp

    Greetings,

    I'm trying to better understand the purpose of this particular Temp folder (usersTemp under Vista (ultimate).  Specifically, it operations, functional routines, application of the related activities, or other executions file would put files in this folder?  The question is asked by finding this Temp folder that is populated by a lot of Microsoft Word and PDF files that were created a long time ago and have resided largely intact in the original "saved in ' repertoire since then.  They are sensitive files and I want to understand what may have caused them can be completely copied to this folder.  (I'm a computer operating relatively new for which application all files were transferred from the old system running XP and earlier version of Office Pro.   The file transfer process went well with all paper, folders, files, and directories organized and working on the new system, as they had it on a prerequisite.  The files in Temp folder in question were created on old system years ago month.)  If some could refer to reliable, applicable information resources, that might be useful as well - in addition to any direct response to the motion may be possible.

    Thank you-

    Sincerely,

    Description: Temp folder
    Location: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp
    Why you be interested: many programs are in need of a safe place, where the user has permissions, to generate temporary data. This is the place to look. They may have wiped/grater the main file, but there may be a version in this directory according to the application works.
    Entered by: Irongeek, but thanks to Nir.

    Information appears in this issue most often when a program crashes and parts of open files are placed in this directory - it is very large, then you can have a lot of accidents.

    What are the dates on the temporary files and are they complete files or only the fragments of files (you can tell by trying to open them and see if they if they have valid file types)?  They occurred around the same time or they occurred over a long period of time?

    I do not know why these files seems suddenly in the temp folder if they have not been used in 10 years - I see nothing in Vista that would cause that to happen automatically.  Maybe someone actually did open without your knowledge (even though it will have to be an admin to access the source files, unless they know your user name and password).

    Open the folder Documents (the source of these sensitive files) and click on the title bar and then click more.  Check the Date of consultation.  Check Date of visit.  Check the last time.  Then go through the files to see this information on them to see if they have been recently accessed in these ways (you can delete the columns once you are finished).  If the dates are old, chances are good that they are not open (which should make you feel better, but why they appear in the confosing especially temp folder).  Are that they all the same type of file (as all .doc files) - if so, what file type and if not what types of files are involved?  Maybe something is happening with the program that created (is Microsot Word?) because of this activity (although I can't imagine what it is maybe).

    Make periodic backups, including these source files?  It is possible that the backup process is originally this activity (although I frankly never heard of this before and it would be a big surprise).

    Here is a link to a search engine Bing on "Appdata/Local/Temp" which can be a help to http://www.bing.com/search?q=Appdata%2FLocal%2FTemp&first=1&FORM=PERE (I it used to get some information here).

    I don't know if I answered your question - I think I have got approached in some areas but missed a few aspectis of your questions.  Be specific if you want information.

    I hope this helps.

  • How can I retrieve OR recover my user name & password in 'Windows Mail'!

    How can I retrieve OR recover my user name & password in 'Windows Mail'!  From time to time, I get a drop-down list for both box and I still have one heck of a time to remember what they are.  Please help, thanks

    There is no way to do it.  Contact your ISP and write them.  WinMail also has a bit of a bug and if you set the wrong values it will be you bug without end, then go to tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties and set them there and not when it prompts you.  Sometimes also the ISP service will work intermittently, and they generate the problem.  But the idea of "password" is so nobody else knows what it is, and so there is no way to determine what your password if you forget it.

    The file is not on your system. There is only a registry entry that is refencing a nonexistent file. That's why you get the message.

    If you disable the entry in Autoruns, Autoruns moves the registry entry to another location so that it is not used during Windows startup.

    If you want to permanently delete the registry entry, right-click in Autoruns and click on delete. Or you can remove the entry from the registry using Regedit.

  • List of user names and password which are the same

    Hello

    I created several user with the default password even under the user name. They are supposed to change their password. But some of them have not changed their password.

    Now, I want the list of these users of database that has the same password as their user name. How can I find it?


    I'm really grateful if you help me.

    Thank you
    API

    Oracle stores the password as a hash and the same two passwords will not have same hash value, so there is no way to query on the password. Do you not use profiles?

    All I can think of is to create a small script to connect to the database using various users, you have created with their default passwords and log if the connection succeeded or not. And then you can have a list of all successful connections which means, users who are not the default password changed again.

    Thank you

    The problem is, Chkdsk will not fix this, and I can't access the file. This opens up a world of problems when I need to fix this error, so I can upgrade to Windows 7. Help, please!

    I just ran the scan again. He said of the errors found, but could not be repaired.

    This problem actually has nothing to do with internet explorer. It's the cookies folder that is corrupt in the Windows folder in roaming. The error file is in conjunction with the programs, that I try to run (AIM, Skype, so forth). Trying to enter the folder it says it's corrupt. I don't know what is the root of the problems or how to solve this problem, but these measures have not helped so far. Regarding the repair, I will try that next.
