How to clean up temp files on computer



Follow the Steps



1.    Click on Start and then Run Or Windows+R .

2.    In the text box in the Run window, type %Temp% and click OK. A folder full of files and other folders will appear.

              All of the folders and files you see in this Temp folder are no longer being used by   Windows XP and can safely be deleted.

3.    To remove individual folders or files, hold down your Ctrl key while left-clicking on each item you want delete. Release the Ctrl key when you're finished.

To delete these items, hit your Delete key or choose File and then Delete from the menu.

4.    Confirm that you want to delete the files by clicking Yes on the Confirm Multiple File Delete window that opens.

5.    If you'd instead like to remove everything inside the Temp folder, choose Edit and   then Select All from the menu Or Ctrl +A  .

Note: If you're prompted that there are hidden files in this folder, just click on OK to bypass the message. A few hidden files hanging out in the Temp folder probably aren't important enough to worry about.

6.    Now that all of the files and folders are selected, hit your Delete key or choose File and then Delete from the menu.

7.    Confirm that you want to delete the files by clicking Yes on the Confirm Multiple File Delete window that opens.

8.    After all of the files have been deleted you can close the window and empty your Recycle Bin, permanently removing the files from your PC.
