  What is this file: owner/local settings/temp, it fills as soon as I put everything in the trash.  At the moment there are 2743 files it contains.

  Hello

  Temporary files are created by Windows that remain on the hard disk due to an irregular output of a Windows session.

  Some programs create temporary files and then leave them - they do not delete. This can happen because the program crashed or the developer of the program simply forgot to add the necessary code to delete the temporary files after the program is done with them. Temporary files left by the programs accumulate over time and can take up a lot of disk space.

  You can delete temporary files from the computer to improve the performance of the computer. Follow the article to the same thing:

We have 709 fragmented files. the only thing he tells me is to defragment again. This is a sound block saying me the corresponding problem.

  Hi Jason,

  1. to confirm, do you use the Windows XP operating system?

  2. do you get an error message? If Yes, what is the full error message?

  It seems that we have to clean the unnecessary files and check if the drive works properly or not.

  I suggest you perform the steps.

  Method 1: Use the Disk Cleanup tool and check if that helps you.

  Rerun defragment and check.

  Method 2:

  Alternatively, you can scan the hard disk for errors. You may need to run the scan several times and make sure that the disc is clean.

  Reference:

  How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP

  Chkdsk

  You can opt chkdsk/r

  Note: He performs a comprehensive check, even if the drive is not marked for chkdsk to run. This parameter is none of the changes on the disk.

  Note: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

  Once you have finished the cleaning disc and chkdsk, you can perform defragment to see if it solved the problem.

  Hope this information helps. Response with status so that we can help you.

• Safely delete the contents of the ProgramFiles/Windows/Temp dir? __And I can remove the content of Documents and Settings/User1/Local settings/Temp dir? __Thanks for any advice! __

  Can I safely remove or delete the contents of a 'Temp' directory in Windows?

  -Documents and Settings / User1 / Local settings / Temp

  -Program Files / Windows / Temp

  Yes, you can delete the contents of any temporary directory. You can use disk cleanup or CCleaner . If you use CCleaner, use only the cleaning tools. Let tools registry and other options alone . MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• When I download a jpg in Photoshop elements Editor, the file is stored in Documents & Settings / My Name/Local Settings/Temp but I can't find this place on my computer.

  The photos are attached to e-mail messages. I can go as far as documents and settings and my name, but he has not shown Local Settings folder. With the help of MS search with the name of the file does nothing. I use Windows XP and Mozilla Firefox. The file appears in Photoshop Elements and I can save it as a psd file, but I can't find the jpg or psd files to move in my images.

  The Local Settings folder is a hidden folder.

  (1) if the file appears in the download (Tools menu or Ctrl + j) Manager, you can right-click and open the folder that contains access it directly.

  (2) in order to see the folders hidden Windows XP in general, try this:

  Open my computer or Windows Explorer

  Tools > Folder Options > view tab

  Scroll down and look for the box on the hidden files and folders and display them.

  I hope that this will solve the problem. A little luck?

  (3) in addition, you may be able to save images from the e-mail message to a more convenient location by double-clicking on the links and Save Link As (before you open them for editing.)

• You can delete files in C:/Documents and Settings / < username > / Local Settings/Temp subdir?

  I found almost 6 GB of space in C:/Documents and Settings /Settings/Temp categoriy (I have a partitioned drive where C:\ is my system drive), which took me a limit where I can't defragment and things are very slow.  If I can delete which could greatly improve things.  However could take the space of the other partition and add it to the C:\ partition?

  Thank you

  Yes, you can delete the files in the Temp directory. Yes, you can merge partitions, but only with the if third-party partitioning software you don't want to start over with a clean install. Before we do partitioning, it would be wise to back up data on external media such as an external USB hard disk, in any case because the things happens.

  Hello

  Q1 Yes

  Q2 Yes, periodically, you determine a proper frequency

  T3 no, unless you have deliberately chosen sort of put a little there that are important to you

  Some files cannot be removed because they are used by software running on your PC, for example antivirus software.

  need to make space on my pc for re - org hard disk and a user folder size is 14.3 GB

  I guess that this computer has never been maintained. Of course, you must delete the files in the Temp directory. You can use CCleaner to clean up, but cannot use cleaning tools. Do not use Registry tools.

• Can't see hidden files to delete in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\William\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

  C:\Documents and Settings\William\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files folder there are more than 135,000 files; nearly 2,000 cases and close to 3 GB of data. These files do not display and I can't remove them by deleting temporary Internet files. When I try to see the files to help to locate hidden files, only three very small files appear. How can I delete these files? Can I delete the folder and create a new one?

  William

  You can also enter your options Internet Explorer (via Control Panel), on the general tab, in the browsing history, there should be a settings button, once there, you should be able to select Show files in the temporary Internet files section.  Who will open the file for you and you can do CTRL + A (select all), and then delete.

  Some of the files in the folder may be used, and if they are in use, you will not be able to remove them.  You will need to know what is their use, cannot be used, then delete them.
