  2. Temporary files are eating away my storage!!

    Storage sense is on, but it doesn't seem to work at all. Says there are 70GB plus of temporary files but let's me delete about 30MB

    I have checked the folder for the files but I'm not sure what the names mean.

    How to correct Storage Sense/Disk Cleaner Temporary Files calculations?

    Storage Sense calculated 30.9MB of Temporary Files.

    Both Temp Folders had a combined total amount of 3.18MB in Temp Files.

    After running Storage Sense both Temp Folders were empty.

    However, upon running Storage Sense again it still showed a calculated amount of 30.9MB of Temporary Files. . .I suppose those Files are somewhere else other than the two Temp Folders.

    Subsequently ran Disk Cleaner which calculated 54.6 of Temporary Files.

    Upon running Disk Cleaner again still showed a calculated amount of 54.6MB of Temporary Files.

    Re-ran Storage Sense and it still showed a calculated amount of 30.9MB.

    End result. . .Storage Sense 30.9MB. . .Disk Cleaner 54.6MB. . .Two Temp Folders 0MB

    Are the supposedly incorrectly calculated amounts a Registry issue? Are there hidden Temporary Files somewhere else that are not in the two Temp Folders?

    SFC showed no corrupt Files and CHKDSK showed no errors

    Will the incorrect calculations issue(s), in time, resolve itself?

    Or are they correct calculations? If so, then why was there only a 3.18MB cumulative amount in both Temp Folders? Why is there an almost 24MB difference between the Disk Cleaner Calculation and the Storage Sense Calculation?
