  1. Disk Cleanup showing no amount of temporary files?


    I recently reverted the temporary file location from a secondary drive back onto my main drive.

    Issue is, windows 10 storage settings and Disk Cleanup isn’t showing me any amount of temporary files anymore..


    Does it only show after a set amount of days?

    I downloaded CCleaner and it found temp files, so whats the issue with windows 10 not finding any?


    These are my current pathways:


    User variables:
    TEMP: "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp"
    TMP: "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp"

    System variables:
    TEMP: "%SystemRoot%\TEMP"
    TMP: "%SystemRoot%\TEMP"

    :)

    I am having a hard time understanding why 281KB of files found is showing in Disk Cleanup as 2.92GB. Can someone help me understand what is happening here?
