When I try to clean the c drive, there is a file called temporary files that will not delete. It is different from the temporary internet files. How do I delete this? |

Are you sure it is not a folder. The temporary folder that is vital for the proper function of your system as many applications use it?

I forget the exact time, but this is the reason why some are left behind. You can type %temp% into an address bar to go there yourself and manually delete file. You will not be able to delete files that are still in use. You can use the attached .vbs script to delete all of the files that are not in use as well. I have it saved in a folder I keep all extra command line commands, and that is included in the PATH. ss. begin 666 clean_temp.vbs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`` ` end |
