    temp files wont delete

    My temp files are now just under over 800 megs.
    I tried some of the suggestions on this site, I could not even get to the app data file, it either was not there at all or I ended up somewhere else and the folder was empty.
    Could I get a guide to this file, windows 10 home upgraded from 7.
    Ccleaner wont clear it out, disc cleanup won't, it has a lock on it stopping any removal.
    I have a 500 gb hard drive but if this file grows all the time I would not like it.

    temp file removal

    Hi JerrySieb,

    I'm Charles, an Independent advisor trying to help.

    When trying to erase them, is an error generated? I say this because I understood that you cannot eliminate them. Here the steps to eliminate them:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/402661...

    I also apply this option to delete them:

    1.- Windows + R >> Run, now type: temp + Enter, select all the files, and press Shift + Delete

    2.- Windows + R >> Run, now write:% temp% + Enter, select all the files, and press Shift + Delete

    3.- Windows + I >> Settings >> System >> Storage (Click on the option) >> Select the list of temporary folders >> Remove files

    Attentive to any comments

    I hope the steps work for you too

    Have a happy day

    Best Regards,

    Charles.
