  1. 50GB in temporary files and I can't delete it..


    So I noticed this morning that for some reason I lost about 50GB of storage space on my boot ssd so I looked around a bit to find that there is 47,6GB of temporary files on my system out of nowhere. I'm talking about the temporary files when looking at the storage window in Window 10 settings.

    When I click on it I'm only able to delete 5GB wich is mostly Windows update cleanup. Where did the other 45GB come from and how do I get rid of it? This is driving me insane.

    How To Delete Temporary Internet Files And Temporary Files In Windows 10

    Hi Anup,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I would respond as follows:

    1. No, I have not installed any third party applications to delete Temporary Internet Files or Temporary Files.

    2. Yes, as mentioned in my message, I had chcked the relevant boxes for Temporary Internet Files and Temporary Files before performing Disk Clean-up. But still the files won't delete.

    Your suggestion is about deleting Browsing history. I don't have any issues with deleting Browsing history. It's about deleting Temporary Internet Files and Temporary Files. Browsing history can be deleted via Internet Options or from the option available
    in the Hub of Microsoft Edge.

    Any help on how to delete Temporary Internet Files and Temporary Files would be greatly appreciated.

    Regards.
