| 664684 | 2008-05-01 11:34:00 | After un-checked 'Hidden Files & Folders' , I found that there are a big chunk of files in the C:\Documents and Settings\userxxx\Temp folder. Is it safe to delete them? |

| 664685 | 2008-05-01 12:01:00 | If they are temporary IE or MS Office files then absolutely. Use CCleaner and see if it picks them up and deletes them safely. |

| 664686 | 2008-05-01 21:20:00 | Though the basic windows disk cleanup searches temp files for deleting, ccleaner and similar cleaning programs attempt to specify what the temp files are and other info. This allows a informed choice on whether to delete them... | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||

| 664689 | 2008-05-02 01:37:00 | Do you mean the C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temp folder ? Well thats the only folder I can see. Ccleaner doesnt clean this folder out (I just tried it). You would have to add this folder, if you use ccleaner (go to cleaner / windows / custom files and folders) Then options / include and add the folder). Just make sure you add the right folder, coz everything in it will be deleted. Once you click on run cleaner I think this folder is used for some programs that you run, or programs you install. |

| 664691 | 2008-05-04 03:32:00 | @ Speedy Don't know why that folder isn't being cleaned with your CC - It does on mine and other computers I use it on |
