Is it safe to delete files from C:\Users\[my username] \AppData\Local\Microsoft on Windows 7?

Hello

I have a 111 GB C with 24GO hard left on that and I'm trying to free up space. I noticed that about 45 GB are stored in my
C:\Users\[my username] \AppData\Local\Microsoft
but when I open the file it says 920 MB instead. (the "hidden check box is not checked, so I don't know why I'm not able to see all files and folders")
Should what files and folders I delete this file?

Looks like your browser cache is crazy!  In Internet Explorer, click on the gear, then Internet Options.  Under browsing history, click settings and make sure that the cache size is somewhere between 50 and 250 MB.  MO is, not gigabytes!  Then at the bottom of the settings window there is a box to set the no. days for which these pages are kept, set it to something like 20 days (and certainly not a year)!

Good luck.

    I use windows 7, both of my user accounts are administrator accounts.
    How do I move my files from one account to the other?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    An ADMINISTRATOR account can access all folders and files on the computer.

    Use start - computer or Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Users account you
    want-click right on the folders (or files) and COPY - go to another account
    and PASTE it where you want. Repeat if necessary. Do not delete the folders and
    files from the account, they are forward to be sure they are duplicated when you need
    them.

    I hope this helps.

    1 n ° put them on a regular external drive and the value of Time Machine to back up as well; the files you want to keep should be at least two disks in case one of them goes down.

    2. they will not be usable until the restoration.

  • Satellite U - How to recover deleted files from mysafe?

    Hello

    Does anyone know how to recover deleted files from mysafe?

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that the data in this folder will not be deleted to bin recycled initially, but they will be removed immediately.
    How recovery them? Good question?

    Try to find some third party applications that can scan the HARD disk for deleted files. The point is that it will work if the FAT (File allocation table) is deleted only. This means that the file is on the HARD disk, but the disk HARD doesn t know where exactly.
    Hmmm... It is not so easy.

  • I get an error message that my memory is low, but when I go to delete files from my recovery disc it will not allow me too.

    Original title: recovery Partition

    Stays of complete recovery partition may not free up any space. I get an error message that my memory is low, but when I go to delete files from my recovery disc it will not allow me too. There are 6 total folders on my drive:

    Dell, Program files users tools and windows sources.

    The Windows folder and the program are the most important concerts of 6-7 piece. But when I try to delete them or move only to the recycling it is bin-error right and says Destination folder access denied and I need permission for this action... Any idea would be deeply appreciated. Thank you

    I apolgize if I look tense. That's the way I read your phrase... > if I try yo run an app download anything I get this error...

    I suggest that you contact the manufacturer of your computer. Ask to speak to a technician and explain to that person of the situation.

    I'm afraid that I have no idea why your recovery partition gives you message "not enough memory" If you have never touched him.

    Maybe you'd wait for people with better computer skills to help you.

    Thank you.

    I can't delete files from my laptop that I sent to her from my pc via homegroup. Why? If I modify or delete a file on a pc will also be edit/delete on the other? (I want everything on my laptop I want on my desktop) I have the permissions on the desktop to read/write.

    Hello

    Remember that this is the reason for having a SHARED NETWORK... you share all. If you and I are working on a project that is shared on the network, we could work on and update the project. If you don't want this to be the case, do not share some files on the network. In other words, if I don't want then it in my music, I do not share my music directory.

  • Deleting files from the downloads folder

    Deleting files from my downloads folder delete them will form my laptop?

    The downloads folder is mainly a temporary store. What happens after the download depends entirely what they are and what you were doing after download.

    Program installers will almost always unpack and create directories elsewhere on the disc in order to remove them from downloads does not remove the actual program.

    By default, zip files will create a folder extracted in downloads and will be deleted if the folder is empty.

    Photos, documents, music, etc. be elsewhere on your drive if you moved them. As the default drag and drop function within the same drive is move not copy if they are still there, there is a strong possibility that they are the only copy.
