Is it Safe to Delete Temp Files?

[baymagic]

My 8GB DDR3 laptop was fast I could do multiple work on it; however since I delete my temp files my laptop cannot even work on Adobe Lightroom mouse behaves slow motion, and when I open webpage with new tap white page covers my screen and mouse indicates processing is slow, then i have to go task bar and close to the program. I assume I still needed some info where located in temp file because computer has to recognize previous process. Any one has any idea about this what could be solution? .

[paulyt7]

[132Kr]

Does anyone know what iconhacker.exe is? I can't find any good info about it.

[GaryNull]

How come the "Temporary Internet Files" is a hidden operation system folder and you can't see it unless you uncheck that box for that option?

[clintonearlwalker]

My temp files is always full of shit. Everytime u go on any website they put a ton of shit in your temp files. To see what is in there go to tools, internet opitons, beside browsing history click settings, then click view files. I use the windows clean up utility to delete temporary files. I've done it many times and never had a problem. Of course the next day it's full of crap again.

[tetankemint]

ccleaner shows up 0 mb taken up by temp files however when i manually browse to my temp folder it says i have 2 gigs worth of the stuff.. any suggestions

[Valkier071]

I need help, PLEASE someone respond to this! A Trojan is being detected by my Avira every 8 minutes! They are ALL in my TEMP file, so I deleted C:\Windows\Temp. I deleted the WHOLE folder, not JUST the files in it, but the ACTUAL file. But now I'm worried. It's still in my Recycle Bin and my Avira hasn't gone off since I deleted it, but what happens if I empty my recycle bin? Is it going to fuck up my computer? SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER!!!

[spartanxka]

@Valkier071 haha u gotta delete the temp files in it

[desenagrator]

@Valkier071 No just make a new folder called the folder you just deleted. Make sure all characters are correct. for example if the file was called "TeSt" and you named it "Test" it wouldn't work. You would have to name it "TeSt" for it to work.

[morganiothegamer]

@Valkier071 what you need to do is to delete the infected files, then empty the recycle bin.

if the trojan is still there install a better anti virus. if it still is there a reinstall of youre operating system is the only thing to do.

[guitardude552]

@Valkier071 no its not

[diapysik]

@Valkier071 its safe

[waiatatube]

Hi Chris, you talked about, leaving your deleted files in the rubbish folder! Does this use up space/bytes as if it where in a folder on c: drive!

Cheers and neat videos.

[xiiREAP3Rx]

Thanks man.

[berther88]

Hi! Thanks for your videos - they're very helpful to a novice like myself.

Could anyone tell me the name of the temp file cleaning tool that comes with Vista? Also, is Ccleaner any better than the Vista tool?

Thanks a lot for your help!

[berther88]

Hello! Sorry to waste your time reading my last message, I've found my answer. It's disk cleanup, right?

Thanks!

[Kerus3]

[PirateAnonymous]

get kaspersky

[Methylcloroisothiaz1]

some of them you can't delete, just go to google type in "Malwarebytes" than click on the 3rd option, it is a sophisticated program that wipes and cleans all viruses on your computer

[x360zgamer]

Is it safe to delete stuff when you go to start then run then %temp%

[VanillaLimeCoke]

Clean up 4.0! is good. One time after cleaning and I ran my anti-virus program, there were less files scanned (120,000 compared to 200,000).

[sasuke5088]

How to get rid of all your temp files is to type this line in the c:/ prompt:

del -s c:/*.tmp

[computiliz]

CCleaner is nice....just make sure you uncheck the yahoo toolbar option if you don't want it.

[GR0VE4L]

What is a temp file?

[legominifigure7]

a TEMPorary file

[sasuke5088]

i have 15 GB of TMP files that are being created by bdeafbdab.dll but I can't get rid of that .dll in safe mode.

I'm using windows XP.. wtf?!

[PSPHelper911]

GOD DAMN!!!!!!

[LameFtw]

Yes, ill help, SKIP over the ones that are in safe mode =]

[PackedFunk]

8.69 gig?? You need to run your tools more often.

[PackedFunk]

Hey, you were interviewing that ol' man who broke that Edison cylinder wax disk on Tech TV. Felt sorry for that ol' man. That can't be good, you told him. Rub it in a little.

[AJenbo]

Chris, windows doses not list recycle bin files are temporary files, even temporary internet files are listed seporatly.

when you get Gigs of temp files it usualy from selfextractors contaning installers beeing shut down befor the actual installer is shut down.

[powerman2442]

Programs list then different so that you just don't check delete all temporary files. Technically I'd consider a recycle bin filea temp file because if you are sure you want to delete it it will only be there temporarily. I along with many people I know shift + delete or just clear the bin after each use. I guess it is preference though.

[moonlightkisu]

isn't it called the 'recycle bin' and not just the 'trash bin' because when you delete a file, it's not actually deleted, but rather 'recycled' into free space that the operating system can use?

[AJenbo]

It's purly for retriving your files if you actualy don't want to deleted them.

The operating system is not alowed to write to the spece before you actualy delete them/empty the recycle bin.

You could call it the "are you realy realy shure bin" :)

[powerman2442]

Or you can just be sure form the get go and hit shift + delete when the file is highlighted and it goes bye bye. No recycle bin. A lot of people didn't know you could.

[fishfishstinkx]

spam. jking

[Glenners]

Nice backround I have that wallpaper aswell. That site is great you can get it almost any resolution and aspect ratio you want!

[Colonelc81]

[rossc12345]

[danisftw]

I look at my hard drive and it tells me i have no Temp files, is this right or am i looking in the wrong place?

[Fatty2787]
