Temp Folder

There are a large number of files in \Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp
folder which do not seem to get deleted when temporary files are deleted via
Disk Cleanup.

Is it ok to simply delete all these files or are they needed by some
programs?

you can delete them

Yes you can, although there certain applications that store files there such
as Microsoft Office for assisting in the installation of updates/Service
Packs. This is where error logs for your applications are also so stored, so
make you take a second look before deleting just to be sure.

Hi Denis,

In addition to Andre's post, Disk Cleanup will only delete temporary
files that have not been modified in over a week. It is usually safe to
delete these. Just look before you delete to be safe like Andre stated.

Hello,
I have a simaliar issue as described below.I would like to delete 2 files in my temp folder.The only problem is it says it cannot do this because the file(s) are open in another program.I have used many PC fix it tools, but does not remove them,even CCleaner.I have searched everywhere to find them,but cannot.These 2 files are DLL files from a MS simulator that I un installed.
Also I have a message when I try to delete MS simulator files in the search field at the start icon...the message says "could not find this item,this item is no longer located in c:\users\#####\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent.
Again I cannot find them anywhere,manually or buy using PC fix software.Any help would be great!!!Thanks Mattu
