Removing temp files

Anonymous

Hi,
Disk properties on C:\ shows about 38Gb being populated by temp files. Trying to delete it via disk cleanup as well as accessing the folder via run with %temp% does not clear all files. Is there any way to clear up this space. I had around 50gigs which I always keep free on C:\ but now its down to 22Gb, i am worried that C:\ will soon run out of space despite having nothing other than windows and programs on it, even libraries are on another drive.

Thank You.

    Hi SyamandhakamHome,

    I'm Paul and I'm here to help you with your concern.

    You can use the command prompt to clean the Temp folder.

    > Open Command Prompt (Admin) or PowerShell (Admin) from the list.

    > Copy-paste the command below and enter.

    del /q/f/s %TEMP%*

    > Close the command prompt and restart the PC.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted.
