Is it safe to delete the temporary files from disk cleanup?

Hi, I have recently executed drive clean and I find the temporary files is 22.7 GB. But when I checked the tmp folder in windows there only 500 MB of temporary files.

So my question is,

Is it safe to delete these 22.7 GB of files using the cleaning disc?

  • 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.

    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.

  • You need to enable thumbnails in Windows7 HomeBasic, who was disabled after deleting the temporary files.

    I need to reactivate the taskbar thumbnails. This feature is active until I deleted all temporary files. I have the basic Windows 7 Home Edition version.

    I want to say this forum Fortunately, my problem solved. Nor things worked, but restoring the registry. When I restored my registry to a back-dated backup created by installed antivirus, things attaches like a charm. And now the tasbar thumbnails work in my Lappy, so far it seems that restoring the registry is the only solution for this problem.

  • Is it safe to delete the log file in/private/var/log/vnetlib?

    [Fusion 4.1.2 / Lion 10.7.4]

    My vnetlib log file is greater than 22 MB in size and has > K 250 lines of entries dating back to September 2011. Is it safe to delete this log file? A planning at startup, remove the file and then do a restart immediately after to restart VMWare network components - and we hope to recreate a new empty file. I tried erasing the contents of the file via the Terminal but do not have sufficient permissions, even with sudo - guess it was because the VMWare networking processes running at the time.

    Thank you

    John

    If you do not experience network problems, then it is safe to delete.

    I had no problem to remove in a Terminal (while VMware Fusion is running) by using the following command in (although I would recommend VMware Fusion of closing first and it doesn't have to be done in safe mode).

    sudo rm -f /var/log/vnetlib
    

    Just curious, what the big problem is why you want to delete, 22 MB is not that big a deal.

    Can I delete the backups Time Machine of old MacAir and make room on my time Machine 2 TB for Macbook?

    Yes you can.  Your next question may be 'how' to do it.

    Use the Finder to open the disc Time Capsule, named "Data", except if you have renamed the reader

    Here, you will see two files sparsebundle, each bearing the name of Mac, who has been the object of a backup

    Click on the name of the sparsebundle file on behalf of the Mac to highlight the file

    Click the gear just above the window, and then click place in the trash

    He is not coming back, so make sure that you delete the correct file.

    Once the deletion over... it should only take a few minutes... Turn off and restart the time Capsule and you should be all set.

    -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.
