• Is there a simple and quick way of deleting these temporary files?

  To clear my comp. congestion and help speed up my PC, my ISP told me to put temp5 Prefetch and % and Temp in start-run to delete the temporary files. It's a bit long-winded that each group must be deleted separately. Disk Clean up does not get rid of them. Is there a simple and quick way of deleting these temporary files? Thanks Brian

  Delete the contents of the prefetch folder will not help speed things up.  In fact, it will probably slow things down.  See http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-system/can-i-delete-the-data-in-the-prefetch-folder/c54a8e56-c8cf-451d-a88f-07f06a2f2d54
  I guess temp5% is a typo and you really wanted to say %Temp%.  Percent signs indicate that it is an "environment variable" with the usual value of C:\Documents and Settings\, yourusername\Local Settings\Temp

  The directory specified by %Temp% is, in fact, the directory cleaned by the cleaning of record under the name "temporary files".  Why do you think that disk cleanup is not delete files?  Note that disk cleanup does not remove the files in this directory which came in the last 7 days (this period may be changed by changing a registry value).

  What disk cleanup does NOT, however, is to clean temporary files, files for the Internet browser cache and other files in places of profile-specific to the user of different profiles that you are currently using.  Disk Cleanup also does not delete the contents of C:\Windows\Temp (although it doesn't fill up with very much).  C:\Windows\Temp is the directory that appears when you type Temp in start > run (without the percent sign).  And, of course, disk cleanup will not empty the cache of the browser by non-Microsoft browsers, e.g. Firefox.

  There are third-party applications that make a "deep" cleaning  Some of them clean files of all users without having to login to each profile separately.  Most understand the characteristics that you should not use.

  Here are 2 - there are others, but I haven't used.

  ATF-Cleaner  (do not delete prefetch)
  CCleaner (do not use the registry tool)

• 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.

• 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.

• Deletion of temporary files in Win7 has bad effects in FireFox

  I made a BIG mistake and went through the process of clearing the temporary internet files in WIndows 7. I have now several frequently used Web sites that are not set up correctly. For example, when I select ancestry.com there is a button to connect, but clicking on it does not give me a window of registration. My normal www.slac.stanford.edu homepage brings up a list of text items, but not the image that I was expecting. There are several others who should have buttons to click on but are not. It all works properly if I use IE, but something happened when I deleted temporary files that Firefox interact properly with these sites. There must be a setting somewhere that has cleared. Where to watch and/or how do I retrieve my familiar Firefox?

  I gave up trying to find and fix the problem. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled. No change when I told him not to delete my data and user settings. So I backed up my favorites and uninstalled again, this time to say things to clear the settings and data of the user. This time the resettlement seems to have solved the problem.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file.

  -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.

• After that I deleted all temporary files and cookies from my temporary Internet files files always show. Why?

  I used to always go Documents Local Temporary Internet Files and delete everything, including cookies, and all would be deleted. But now I still at least 20 files always there, with which I can't delete?  I go on the internet and go to tools and Internet Options and delete from there, but still the same files are left there?  Why? I use Microsoft Security Essentials, and they say no virus or any problem what so ever, then why. I checked with an Anti Virus program but they don't always say no Virus.  Why are these files, and when I look at them, I know where they are, but know not why they stay on my computer. ???

  Hi JudyWilliamson,

  Some of the temporary internet files cannot be deleted because it will run in the background with the internet.

  You can leave these files because it will harm your computer.

  Thanks, Newbie Mel

  Hello

  The Prefetch files should not be deleted. This will slow down the normal operations.

  When you use the computer, the prefetch files are created for the programs that you use normally the most. This allows these programs to load faster.

  If you delete the files prefetch, the system must then start over again and recreate the files that you are using the computer.

  The Prefetch files are located in the C:\Windows\Prefetch folder. They are data files and are not human readable.

  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.
