Problems deleting temporary files Windows 11

Question

I have previously reported this issue. I'm having trouble deleting temporary files in Windows 11. After updating to 24H2, the storage sense is not working correctly. It consistently deletes only 1MB each time it runs. Temporary files show 1.20 GB under Settings > System > Storage > Temporary files. I check all options and select delete. Temporary files are then reduced to 1.05 GB. I then try manually: Win+R (run) %temp% and delete all files. Next, Win+R (run) temp and delete all files. Temporary files are then reduced to 1.05 GB. Following your previous advice, I have tried starting the PC in safe mode, running disk cleanup, and using the CCleaner program. No more temporary files are deleted, but they still show 1.05 GB. The problem started a few minutes before the 24H2 update was available and has persisted. Previously, the size of temporary files was around 150 MB. I hope for feedback!
