How to clean the ‚temp‘ folder in Windows

Post by Admin »

So guys, here we go:

Open the Start menu, in the search box type %temp%, press Enter.

A new window will open with its folders and files. Select them all by Ctrl+A.

Now press ‚Del‘ button.

A small window will appear asking you whether you are sure to delete the selected files. Just click ‚yes‘.

While cleaning operation is going on, you can see pop-ups ‚Folder in Use‘. It shows you files and folders that are currently running and can’t be removed. No problem. Just click ‚skip‘ (doesn’t matter how many times it appears, klick on ‚skip‘-ing and don’t get nervous :-)

Last step, now open the Recycle Bin, clean it the same way: select all the files with Ctrl+A, then press ‚Del‘. Now they are permanently deleted from your pc and you have more free spaces. Your pc should now run faster than before.

Cheers!
