• My Windows XP temp folder continues to fill to the point of making my drive completely full c

  Hello

  This leads me to madness - my windows temp folder continues to fill with tons of files - they amount to more than 40 GB in a single session on the computer - in addition they remove themselves to restarting the pc. Can anyone help? I have no idea what produces these files, even if I have IE open only still continues to be.

  I installed another anti-virus scanner and adaware (use AVG and malware) they have not found anything - I don't really know what to do other than completely format my drive!

• create an exception in avast for the nsemail.html file in the temp folder

  I was pulling out my hair trying to find if there could be anything in the temporary files that I have to keep the last few weeks. Then I came across this: "the release of Avast 10.3.2223 (we think it's this version) has resulted in questions with avasts prevention of Thunderbird.
  to function properly. The solution seems to be to create an exception in avast for the nsemail.html file in your

  Matt, thanks. I read your blog post. I need to replace my HD and I've been fretting over if I have to loose important data from the temporary files. Apparently not. When I talked about ccleaner, it was in the generic sense. I avoided ccleaner because I thought it was a big hammer and some data that he brags about getting rid of I really want to continue. I know that I can choose what remains and what is happening, I'll have to give him another look. Once again thank you.

• Temp folder bulging

  The "temp" folder is the Captivate's 800-pound gorilla that continues to grow whenever I create a new project. I used the Captivate widely since I had it installed last spring, and the temp folder located in "Local Settings" within the hierarchy of 'Documents and Settings' from my Windows 2000 computer, total now 8 gigabytes in size!
  
  I take care to store my Captivate projects in project folders and keep all my relevant resources to the project within each folder, and this folder 'temp' thing is frustrating because it consumes more disk space.
  
  But I'm afraid to dump all those temp because things I'm not sure of the consequences if I do.
  
  Can someone give me some advice?

• WHY THE WINDOWS TEMP FOLDER, THE FILES ARE PROTECTED, CAN NOT BE REMOVE?

  CANNOT DELETE THE WINDOWS TEMP FOLDER ALL THE FILES ARE PROTECTED. WHY?

  You can delete all. TMP using Disk Cleanup http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Delete-files-using-Disk-Cleanupfiles.  Of course, it won't delete those in use (not more), so, be sure you have not all open programs using temporary files, if you want to get everything.  The best way to do it is to do the cleanup right after the startup of the system.  The problem with OneCare is that it doesn't give you the option to choose the files you want to delete (as fair. TMP files) - she does everything that it considers unnecessary - and it can take hours to complete because of the antivirus and anti-spyware scans it includes (which can be excluded and drastically reduce the time but it is difficult to resist doing the chore together once you're already there and ready to do maintenance work).

  While you're there, you should consider to optimize your system with http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Optimize-Windows-Vista-for-better-performance.

  What are two tasks that should be part of a good monthly maintenance program to keep your PC/laptop running in peak condition.  There are other steps as well, that I would be happy to break it down if you want to know - but this isn't what you asked, so I'll skip that for now.

• Change the location of the TEMP folder on another drive

  1. What are the steps (dialog) to change the files TEMP system Windows7 on drive C for one of my other drives local HHD? Now, I have only a 160 GB SSD for my boot (C - drv) and want to keep the WRITE/ERASE SPO to a minimum.

  2. is it a security risk to modify the TEMP Internet folder of the hidden/protected area on the C drive to another local HHD? I read that there are built-in virtual paths and protections on both the system and registry that tends to protect Internet files TEMP containing viruses, rootkits, etc. to easily reach areas critical. Norton likely also verifies signatures in these default fields for the TEMP files.

• Drive Windows Media (.wmv file) stored in the Temp folder

  When I download a wmv file, I gives me the opportunity to open the file with Windows Media Player or save the file.  Lately, I've been open files in the player, assuming that, once they play, they are stored in my 'Temp' folder and empty when I delete the folder.  I was also unpin the link in the drop down WMP.  So it was quite a surprise when my hard drive available space began to decline at an alarming rate. When I went to my folder 'Users', it was 43GB and the single folder with any real content was music with 17 GB file. Do a search for wmv files have no results, so I can only assume that there are 26 GB of 'Phantom' wmv files take place, but without any specific place in the folder "users". Given that the "Users" folder is recreated at startup, I deleted all the content, the following prompts to keep files essential and lean record for its actual content to 17.5 GB.  Now I just save the file, manage downloads and delete the files when they are needed.  Is this standard protocol used for the Media Player or is it possible to change the settings of the player?  Thanks for the help.

  First of all - the C:\Users folder should not be deleted like this - several functions of the operating system back up here and you will cause a corruption of just trying to delete it all like that.

  Second - temporary storage of videos open depends on what browser you use. If you are using Internet Explorer, they are stored under C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache

  Chrome stores somewhere else.

  To safely clean the files, use the built-in cleaning system program.  Press Windows + R to display the run box, type cleanmgr and click OK to start the cleaning Manager.

• Cannot find Adobe_Lightroom_x64.msi after cleaning on Windows Temp folder - impossible to update CC-apps

  Hello

  The C-drive on my PC was exhausted, and I needed to clean the workspace.

  I cleaned all temporary folders and moved some of the data files, and finally the computer works.

  I try now to Lightroom update Creative Cloud - app fails with the message that it can not uninstall the old version, and if I try to uninstall in Control Panel, I get a message asking me to locate the Setup file.

  My eybrows up when I realized the uninstall files are supposed to be in the temp folder (which, by definition, should be allowed to clean).

  How can I recover it? I have an old 4.4 - version of LR installed, which was not a problem and a version 5.3 which needed to be updated to a 5, version 7 now.

  I found some references to a CC-cleaner tool, but it does not list Lightroom and don't clean up Lightroom.

  Well, you answer my own son here.

  I got it working, using this very messy solution (don't do this if you do not understand the consequences)

  Open the registry editor and deleted these keys (for LR 5.3 and LR 4.4): (searched the registry for occurrences of 'Lightroom' - but stopped after these results)

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Features\BCA17DD2D255C20459929760CA9BC503

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Features\DC559A118934A50488D64E463C16F8FB

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\BCA17DD2D255C20459929760CA9BC503

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\DC559A118934A50488D64E463C16F8FB

  Also deleted all the Lighroom-courses in values under this key:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\Folders

  The creative cloud is now installing, and it seems to work.

  This solution is messy because it leaves plenty of LR4 and LR 5.3 references in the AMD register on the computer, it leaves all files for older versions.

  To fix this, I also deleted the Program Files folders - so most of the files has been removed.

  The good part of the story is that parameters 5.3 carried over, and I am able to continue my work.
