Hi anonymous user ,

To find the index location:

$essi = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance  
$cc = $essi.Components | ? { $_.GetType().Name -eq 'CrawlComponent' }  
$cc.IndexLocation  

Regarding the temp file location, usually we use Office to open SharePoint files, SharePoint would download a temp file in the local profile on machine. Theoretically, Office will delete all of its temporary files when we exit the program. However, these temporary files might be left if Word hangs, if we exit the program abnormally.
