the temporary files in the windows folder can be removed safely

Yes, they can and must be removed periodically.

The temp folder provides workspace for programs. Can create programs
temporary files there for their own temporary use. Each program should
delete all temporary files when it closes, but for various reasons
It is not always the case (for example, if the program crashes, it)
never gets to do). That is why it is a good idea to periodically
clean up anything left there.

Also note that there are some program installations that work in two
steps. The first step concludes by writing temporary files and
reset. The second stage starts automatically after reboot and
needs to find those files here (and then removes them when there
fact).

Other than to do it automatically on reboot (which would interfere
with facilities like the kind I described), it is always safe to
Delete the contents of the temp folder. Because it is safe to delete
all the temporary files that are not open and currently in use by an application, and
because Windows won't let you delete open files, it is safe to (try to)
remove them at any time. If one does not delete, because they are open.
they will be automatically deleted when the application using their
shut up, or you'll get them next time you manually remove.

Some people may suggest that you restart before deleting anything, but
It is not necessary, for the reason stated above (on the other
hand, it's not bad to do).

  • 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.

  • The content of these files can be deleted?

    The content of these files can be deleted?

    In the Finder, and then to the library I have two files, one is called caches and cookies to others.  What is inside them can be deleted?

    I have an iMac running macOS Sierra 10.12.

    Thank you

    Select this option.

    There are actually several 'library' files in the Finder and it is better that you don't mess with them.  Most browsers have ways to delete the cookies in the browser itself and adjusting the size of browser cache.  Caches speed up the operation of the computer, and unless you have a specific problem, you have not and should not, remove them.  At best he probably will do nothing, and at worst you may have to reinstall your operating system.

  • 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

    Yes, these files are should be removed when the program ends to burn.
