DELETING TEMPORARY FILES

-If you are running any of these versions(Windows 98, XP, Vista, 7, and later)of Windows we suggest running the Windows Disk Cleanup utility to delete temporary files and cleanup other portions of your computer.

-Searching for .tmp files

   -> Click Start, Find, and click Find Files or folders
   -> In the named box type *.tmp to search for any files ending with tmp.
   -> Verify that Look in section of the search box is pointing to the C: drive and not Document Folders.
   -> Click Find Now
   -> Delete all files that are found

Once the above section has been done it is also recommend that you ensure that the temporary folder on the hard drive is empty by following the below instructions.

   -> Double-click My Computer
   -> Double-click the C: drive
   -> Double-click the Temp folder (if present) verify that all files within this folder are deleted.
   -> Close the window and re-open My Computer
   -> Double-click the C: drive
   -> Double-click the Windows folder
   -> Double-click the Temp folder (if present) verify that all files within this folder are deleted.


What are benefits of deleting as many files as you can in the Temp folder?

-> Well for starters, you will have more space on your hard drive. You will also speed up your computer because having these files on your computer can actually cause it to have some internal errors which will obviously slow your computer down.
-> However the problems arise when you kill a program or when it freezes or hangs. What happens to the files in that folder is that they were never actually removed and after a while of this happening your Temp folder. Over time the Temp files folder can build up a lot of files that are just slowing your computer down
