  Like what tetraethyle3 said on November 1, 2013, the best way to remove the contents of the temp folder is to do a Disk Cleanup. You can follow the steps on the link below in performing a Disk Cleanup on your computer.

• Several files in a temp folder cannot be deleted, rename, copy, or move to XP

  I have several files in my temp folder that I can't delete, rename, copy, or move. I was hunting for them with research and it brings back me to the same temp file. The registry can not find them. I even tried to delete using BACK, but it says no file. I get no error message just bong when I try to remove it. I just tried to delete them in safe mode, it did not work.

  You can navigate to the folder in the command prompt?  From the record have you tried del *. * ?

  Run a chkdsk /f on the volume.

  Download, install, update and run full scans with each of the following free tools. Do not run the scans at the same time. Each analysis will take a long time, so start an and then go for a non computer chore.  Leave the delete/quarantine everything it finds. Once completed, you can uninstall these applications.

  B. delete the file

  Assuming that the file is not removed by one of the above tools, the following steps work almost always:

  • Close all running applications.
  • Open Task Manager (press CTRL + ALT + DELETE)
  • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
  • Type the following in the black command prompt window, and then press ENTER after each line
    CD folder
    dir b * (this step is only to list all the files to confirm that you have changed the appropriate directory, make sure that BCGECE.) TEMP is in the list)
  • In Task Manager, find explorer.exe in the processes list, select it, then click on "end process."  Your desktop will become empty except for open windows from the command prompt and the Task Manager
  • Return to the command prompt window and type the following line and press enter
    del BCGECE. TEMP
  • In the Task Manager, click file > new task (run...) and type explorer.exe in the area. Click OK. Your desktop should reappear
  • Close the Task Manager windows command prompt

  If for any reason the foregoing does not, from the start in a "clean boot" configuration XP and delete the file in the usual way.   Use "Method 2" (manual method) to the linked article.

• Is it safe to delete the files from the System 32 > DriverStore > Temp folder?

  I was do a cleaning on my system and find files and temporary folders in all directions. I was wondering if it is safe to delete the files from the System 32 > DriverStore > Temp folder.

  Thank you

  Nothing in the Windows or Program Files and files their subfolders should be left alone.  You won't earn a significant amount of disk space, and you may cause to yourself untold trouble sleeping herein.  Use instead the provided Windows Disk Cleanup.  You can get to it by clicking on start-> computer, then click on the C: drive and click Properties.  On the general tab, you will see disk cleanup.  Use it and you will be safe (and not sorry).  Everything you personally placed on the computer can always be removed of course as long as you do not try to remove installed manually the software (use the programs and features in the control panel for this).

  I hope this helps.  Good luck.

• What happens if I delete the files in the Temp folder in Windows 7?

  What is happening in the windows--> Temp folder in windows 7, and if I delete the files there, that will be a problem?  I want to free up the disk space of 1.8 G, but can't find any info anywhere of the consequences of deleting these files, what they are for, or how they got there.  Thank you!

  In general, it is safe to delete anything in the Temp folder.  Sometimes, you can get a "Cannot be deleted because the file is in use" message, but you can just ignore these files.

  For safety, do your Temp directory deletion right after you restart the computer.  Sometimes a program installer will put something in the Temp directory it needs to complete the installation after a reboot.  If you restart and wait a bit so that they were, whatever left in the Temp folder should be OK to delete it.

  If you want to be conservative, use the built-in Disk Cleanup tool (type of cleaning disc in the search box).  If you select "Temporary files" as one of the elements to clean (deleted), by default, that Disk Cleanup removes only the files that have not changed in 7 days.

• My Temp folder contains documents, I can't open, delete, or identify

  Community:

  I met two (for me) the strange documents in my Temp folder this afternoon.  They are without the usual kind of extension (for example, .txt) and are labeled in the alphanumeric coding.  I scanned documents with MSE, and they passed as safe.  The first document is: etilqs_RdJ2CFX0VOuVC4e, Type: folder. Updated: 23/09/2013-16:05. Size: 28.0 KB.  The other is marked in the same way: etilqs_c2CK9E5YLfaUzWe, Type: folder. Updated: 23/09/2013-16:05. Dimensions: 4.00 KB. Document attributes are identified as: HATI.  These items are good, do you think?  I'm not sure MSE assessment, given something might have interfered with his analysis.  I do not know.  When I tried to delete these unknown documents, I was informed that the revocation was impossible because, "the file is open in Google Chrome," my browser.  I noticed this message "Sorry, the file is opened" before, but I've not yet met without extension, in alphanumeric order labeled items, such as documents that I've referenced here.   In any case, I don't delete them if they are correct and necessary, but I wanted to ask the community - just in case.

  Thanks for any help possible.
  Sincerely,
  Janet

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.
