Delete the contents of the temporary directory

Under XP pro, I was where to remove the content of "C:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Local Settings\Temp" on a regular basis.

Since the directory was turned into a junction point in Win 7, can you me if there is another directory where temporary files are stored (so that I can remove them)?
Thanks in advance.

Type % temp % in the start search box on the Start Menu, and press to enter and you will open the temp folder. It's in the folder Appdata is hidden by default.

  • is it safe to delete the temporary files?

    a game on MSN games froze the screen. The solution I got was to remove & reinstall Java, delete cookies, temp internet files.  I will lose any important data if I delete temporary files?

    Temporary files because they are are temporary and can be deleted safely. Of course, when you remove cookies from Web sites that you visit often preventing login/password information and then you will have to re-enter.

    The only time where it is not recommended to delete the temporary files is when you install a program, and if this program always needs to restart to complete the installation.

    It is rare that any who save their important data in temporary since the temp files folders are always flushed when the user run CCleaner or all files temporary cleaner.

  • Cannot delete the file/directory/app in Finder

    I tried to update WhatRoute but something went wrong. I rebooted the update and that worked well, app works.

    However, since that time I have a file in my trash, called 'WhatRoute.app' which cannot be deleted. Finder said "cannot be deleted because it is currently in use". Activity monitor shows nothing. Restarted several times, also I tried mode secure but nothing helped.

    Tried to use Terminal using the "sudo rm... / WhatRoute.app", but get an error message indicating that it was a directory that cannot be deleted.

    While it is now? an application in use or directory? And how do I get rid of him?

    Help, please!

    Make sure that Whatroute isn't in the login items, then restart the mac and try to empty the trash again.

    In C:\Documents&Settings\username\, there is a hidden folder named Local Settings, and to whom a Temp folder with many files. It is safe to delete these files?

    Yes.  In fact, if you are using disk cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr.exe > OK) it will delete all files in this directory that have been consulted at least 7 days ago.

    You can go directly to this folder by typing the folder in the start menu > run box and click OK.
