    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?

    Disk cleaner not working because of 13 gb temporary files

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

    Storage Sense and Disk Cleaner are not in sync with one another applicable to the Laptop Temporary Files calculations. Neither one are in sync with the cumulative calculation(s) of the two Laptop Temp Folders. It might fix itself at some point. I was just curious as to the large calculation differential(s). It doesn't seem to be hurting performance or slowing down. The Laptop works quite well. . .except for that calculation(s) glitch. I'm just not sure exactly what Files are being included in the calculations given there was only a cumulative amount of 3.18MB in the two Temp Folders total. That is a major differential given Disk Cleaner documented almost 55MB.

    I suppose given both Storage Sense and Disk Cleaner are deleting Temp Files then everything is probably OK. It is only the calculation of the Temp Files where there is a differential. I'll wait a couple of weeks to see if it fixes itself.

    Best Wishes.
