I think it is safe to delete temp files but am uncertain.....please tell me how temp file are created and whether it is safe to delete......THanks in anticaption...... :badpc:	olldaddy78 (6546)

My Compuiter, right click C: > Properties > Disk Cleanup button, tick the files you want to wack in the resulting box including Temporary files and click ok to confirm. There are more thorough ways, but that should suffice, unless your getting really low on disc space.	Murray P (44)

"Temporary" files are created by quite a lot of programmes, and they are not always deleted when they aren't needed any more. They mustn't be removed if a programme is still using them. If you are using a word processor to modify a file, the changed version is a temporary file until you have finished and "Save" the file. The temporary file is only then given the proper file name. Other programmes such as browsers might use a lot of temporary files.	Graham L (2)

I would suggest grabbing CCleaner (www.majorgeeks.com) to use for cleaning up your temp files in one swoop. EasyCleaner is one of the other good programs that I use.	FoxyMX (5)
