  How to remove temporary files, waiting to be written to disk when the computer starts?

  Hi Reasman,

  Welcome to the Microsoft answers site!

  To clear pending files, select the files/folders in the 'Files to add to the CD/DVD' box and press DELETE. However, if you want to delete all files, click the CD/DVD drive and select 'Clear the staging area' from the context menu.

  You can manually delete the files that are stored in the following location:

  %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning folder

  I hope this helps!

• How to remove temporary files from Photoshop?

  I use Mac a friend and in Photoshop, from time to time he always tells me that the scratch disk is almost full and cannot perform actions until I get rid of things on the computer. I delete the files, but after a while he continues to to - I would rather just delete temporary files from Photoshop instead of files of my friend. But I was not able to find any where - where is this folder? or what I should enter in a search?

  You don't need to do it manually.

  You can clear the scratch disk:

  Edit-Purge-All

  You will lose your history if you do this (all cancellations).

  Basically you run of space on the drive system - not a good situation. I would like to talk to your friend to check maybe some files and then remove them. Or buy a firewire drive and use it as a scratch disk.

  Do not delete the files from your friend if you want to stay friends.

• Remove temporary files from the local disk c/documents and settings/user/localsettings/temp name

  Remove temporary files from the local disk c/documents and settings/user/localsettings/temp name

  By definition, this folder should contain only the elements you don't need.  If I understand correctly, this temporary folder is a place where temporary files are stored during program facilities and the facilities.  However, I have seen references other sites to help saying some programs can store folders and files.

  I do my own temporary file elsewhere, name it accordingly and move all the files in the temp folder to the new folder. Use your computer normally for a while, and if nothing complains about missing files, you have a good indication that none of the moved files are important and should be safe to delete.

• The temporary files and Buring CD stash file.bin

  Hello

  I have a question about the temporary files and CD burning stash file.bin that are created when you try to burn files to a CD in XP.

  as I read the article below, it is said that when you try to copy files (burn files to cd) on CD, first of all these files are copied to the folder under: \Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning, then also these files are copied to a monolithic disc image before saving the data to a CD in reality This file named CD burning stash file.bin and is located in the folder root (default under C:\)

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/279157

  are these temporary files in c. Drive_letter: \Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning
  and the other file named CD burning stash file.bin in the root of the C drive will be deleted automatically after finish burning files to a CD?
  If these temporary files are automatically deleted after burning, they are sent to the Recycle Bin or deleted without envoys to recycle bin folder?

  I knew all these processes are involved just to burn files on CD... and I have not computer XP with me at the moment, so I would like to know if these files are deleted when the program ends to burn.

  If anyone can help me with the answer, I would appreciate it!

  Hello
