http://live.pirillo.com - When you load a program, the operating system puts it into memory, which creates files in your temp folder. You'll also find data about your recycle bin there, as well as any plugins you may have installed. It is quite safe to delete these files, and there are a couple way to easily do so.

  • 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!!!

  • 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? .
