• 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.

  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.

• It is safe to delete the temporary files of the user

  In C:\Documents&Settings\username\, there is a hidden folder named Local Settings, and to whom a Temp folder with many files. It is safe to delete these files?

  In C:\Documents&Settings\username\, there is a hidden folder named Local Settings, and to whom a Temp folder with many files. It is safe to delete these files?

  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.

• 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)

• If the temporary file can be deleted salely

  the temporary files in the windows folder can be removed safely

  Saturday, June 23, 2012 22:37:25 + 0000, MelvinjohnsonZQ wrote:

  Yes, they can and must be removed periodically.

  The temp folder provides workspace for programs. Can create programs
  temporary files there for their own temporary use. Each program should
  delete all temporary files when it closes, but for various reasons
  It is not always the case (for example, if the program crashes, it)
  never gets to do). That is why it is a good idea to periodically
  clean up anything left there.

  Also note that there are some program installations that work in two
  steps. The first step concludes by writing temporary files and
  reset. The second stage starts automatically after reboot and
  needs to find those files here (and then removes them when there
  fact).

  Other than to do it automatically on reboot (which would interfere
  with facilities like the kind I described), it is always safe to
  Delete the contents of the temp folder. Because it is safe to delete
  all the temporary files that are not open and currently in use by an application, and
  because Windows won't let you delete open files, it is safe to (try to)
  remove them at any time. If one does not delete, because they are open.
  they will be automatically deleted when the application using their
  shut up, or you'll get them next time you manually remove.

  Some people may suggest that you restart before deleting anything, but
  It is not necessary, for the reason stated above (on the other
  hand, it's not bad to do).

• Why the temporary files are created?

  Original title: temporary files

  Hi, I searched the Web for a long time to know "why the temporary files are created?"
  what I understand so far is there are temporary files created by MS WINDOWS, and others created by other applications like MS OFFICE APPS? RIGHT?

  - and understand that they are created for purposes of backup in the case of MS OFFICE applications,- and I do not know how? they are created when the App crash or every few minutes or what?

  - and I do not understand why "windows Temp files are created?"

  Show me examples please.

  Thank you

• Why "change the temporary database file... maxsize unlimited" does not work?

  After run 'alter database tempfile' D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MH\TEMP01. DBF 'autoextend on maxsize unlimited'; I found that the maxsize parameter is still 32G, why? is this a limitation of the operating system?
  
  How can I make the bigger than the temporary file? to add another temporary file? How to write this command "Edit" to add another file?
  
  Thank you very much!

  After run 'alter database tempfile' D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MH\TEMP01. DBF 'autoextend on maxsize unlimited'; I found that the maxsize parameter is still 32G, why? is this a limitation of the operating system?

  There are some limitations on the maximum size of data file depending on the block size and version you are using.

  I suggest you to go through the document of MOS

  * What is the Maximum Datafile size limit in an Oracle database? [ID 804733.1] *.

  How can I make the bigger than the temporary file? to add another temporary file? How to write this command "Edit" to add another file?

  Well, you can add another temporary file to the existing temporary tablespace. Not a problem. You can go for Bigfile tablespace also.

• can I delete the temporary chm without messing up my project?

  I have a huge project with 33 folders, and about 20 000 htm files. Build a chm file, and there is a copy of each file in temp of chm files. If I try to do a search on the entire project, it also search these records. I wonder if I can delete these temporary files without screwing up my project. Thank you.

  Hello

  No matter what with the Temp it is subject to demolition. You should be fine.

  I believe that RoboHelp creates before compilation of CHM. It * SHOULD * be clean once finished, so it may be necessary to some research that occurs as to why they are being left behind. Unless, at some point the process fails.

  See you soon... Rick

• Cannot delete the plist file system.

  My Time Machine is not automatically back up my drive. He worked for some time (don't know why) and then stops working automatically. I tried to implement the procedure laid down by Linc Davis, delete the file com.apple.TimeMachine.plist, but make the message: 'com.apple.TimeMachine.plist' cannot be changed or deleted because it is required by OS X.  I tried to change the permissions in the file information window to include Administrator Read and Write (only has this permission system. Which translates the message: "the operation cannot be performed because you don't have the necessary authorization."

  Using the terminal window and sudo rm command produces the same message.

  I do a backup manually through the system preferences window, but it shows immediately that a backup disk has not been selected. Next time, I select the backup disk, perform a manual backup. Repeat the next time, I have run a manual backup.

  10.11.1 on new iMac, retina 5 K with 16 GB of memory running. Has made a migration to this previous computer Mac Pro 10.7.5.

  Also the Time Machine backup drive icon backup weather icon to see the Machine. Relaunch the Finder does not fix issue.

  Question: How can I delete the plist file?

  Thanks in advance for any advice.

  A bug in OS X 10.11.1 prevents automatic backups that happens when a desktop Mac (iMac, Mac mini or Mac Pro) is connected to a UPS (UPS) with the USB feature.

  Please, back up all data before proceeding.

  First, check the App Store for a later update to OS X. If it is available when you read this review, install it and see if the problem is resolved. I speak not beta versions.

  Otherwise, you can work around the bug as follows.

  These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

  Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

  sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine RequiresACPower 0

  Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

  Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

  ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

  ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

  Paste in the Terminal window by pressing the command-V key combination. I tested these instructions only with the Safari browser. If you use another browser, you may need to press the return key after pasting. You will be asked for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. Type carefully, and then press return. If you do not have a password, you will need to configure one before you can run the command. You can get a warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to display the warning.

  If you see a message that your user name "is not in the sudoers file", then you have not logged as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.

  Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal.

  Restart the computer and test.
