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.

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.

Immediately stop using your computer for something else. Download and run a program like Recuva file recovery. It might be able to help.

Is it safe to delete the original score after successful cloning?
I have a Mac mini mid2010. I swapped his optical drive to an SSD. Then I cloned the operating system partition and everything works perfectly. My question is whether it is safe to delete the original "Macintosh HD" that I cloned, or if there is a way to keep its files being accessible if I don't get them mixed up.
Thank you
Delete the old folder on the internal drive home page only. I should leave everything alone in case you need to boot from this drive. However, in general, it is safe to reformat the hard drive. But it depends on what you plan to do with it.

My steps for installing Windows 8.1:
Create a. ISO file from DVD installation disc and save it. ISO on a USB Flash drive.
run bootcamp and run the. Location of the ISO on the usb flash drive.
The SSD partition
and then it reboot and the windows installer is on and I finish installing Windows 8.1
then the program to install bootcamp drivers intervenes and installs the drivers
then it restarts and I upgraded towing 10 Windows later and update the bootcamp drivers
Then I start to Mac OS X, but the OSXRESERVED partition is still there.
And when I restart by pressing the option key, I see 1 Macintosh HD but 2 displayed Windows disks
Is it safe to delete the partition OSXRESERVED? I read online that deleting it will cause 10 Windows do not to start over.
Or should I leave it alone?

Thanks for keeping us posted and share this information with us.
As Palcouk suggested, you can remove the "Windows.old" folder if you have saved data on the computer.
It is not possible for the drive to shrink. I would like you to check the amount of space on the hard disk after you remove the Windows.old folder.
Let us know if you have other questions about Windows in the future. We will be happy to help you.
