    Hello,
    While making some search for a file in the system, I found by the way, hundreds of empty folders in the
    C:\users\admin\appdata\local\temp\
    How about deleting them ?
    Thanks

    AppData Local's stuff can be safely deleted. ProgramData temp's stuff can also be safely deleted.
    Not the directories themselves, just the contents *Smile
    Now, some [dis][agree] concerning Windows Prefetch and Recent.

    I've emptied the Prefetch Folder with the only issue being just a bit more time in opening files I had previously opened.
