Temp Folder

[TheTrueDarkOne]

I believe it is 100% ok , but im making sure

If i go to

C>Documents & Settings>( w/e user)this case BIZKIT>Local Settings>Temp

is it ok to delete all the files in there? Or are the files in there have some importance..If i remember correctly it should be ok, just double checking

Yes and no.

It is best to do it in safe mode.

Normally , if the file is in use, it will not delete.

Your firewall and other running programs are apt to store files in the temp folder.

These are supposed to be cleared on reboot but may not be.

In any case, it is best to reboot after you have deleted the contents, and like I said, boot to safe mode, delete them immeadiately and then reboot.

Some anti-virus programs place needed file(s) into the Temp folder to aid their scanning of that folder. I know Panda does. I found out the hard way why my anti-virus became corrupted due to deleting everything from Temp.

i always delete the files in the temp folder. of course, there are at least one file sometimes two that will not delete.

temp folder is as it implies, it is a temp storage folder. some installs put files there for when they install. once an install is done, then they are no longer needed.

there is also a temp folder in the windows folder that should also get cleaned.

you could also clean it out after a restart, or when you start up the PC the next time.
