Windows 10: Empty Temporary Folders Appearing Outside System Temp Folder

Recently, based upon advice I read on another site, I moved the location of the system temporary folder from my SSD to my HDD. Now, I have empty temporary folders (at least they start with Temp) appearing outside the system temporary folder. Here's a screenshot:





D:/Temp is the system temporary folder. I have no idea what all the other folders beginning with "Temp" are.

Any idea how to fix this?

deleting files in temp folder

Many thanks for responding. I have no idea what the Delivery Optimization Files re all about so I will leave it alone but the System Created Windows Error Reports I will clean up and I did also delete the Temporary Internet Files in the Disc Cleanup as
well but then when I went back in and checked the TEMP folder (not temporary internet folder) all the files to delete in the Temp folder were still there. So it is two different places to delete temp or temporary internet folders and it is just the TEMP FOLDER
I want to empty by going to RUN, type in TEMP and then heaps of files come up to delete. I then have to select them all and then delete them. These are the ones that no longer delete.MANY THANKS

Temp Accounts Being Created

When I log in to my account, MS or local, a Temporary Account keeps getting created. Also a Temp folder under Users folder. Which is empty. This has been an ongoing problem for a month and is very annoying. I have to log out, then restart my system in order
to clear out the Temp account. And when the Temp account is created, it flags me that my files and folders are inaccessable. I have created new accounts per Microsoft to clear up this problem and nothing seems to resolve the probem. I even did a reset of
the system and still this problem exist.

 

Did you change the system variable when you moved it? open a cmd prompt type

set

wht does it show for temp?

 

TEMP=D:\Temp
TMP=D:\Temp

 

Permissions for D:\Temp? SYSTEM should have full control.

Ah! @lightwriter, you have Photoshop, don't you *Smile

Photoshop CC fills root of my boot drive with "Tempzxpsign" folders | Photoshop Family Customer Community

That last sentence is disputed later in the thread, read it all.

 

Guilty as charged.

I only wish Patrick Philpot (in the Adobe forums), would have stated with what other programs that could cause problems. Since about all I use is Photoshop, Lightroom, and Chrome, I may risk it.

 

An alternative solution could be to use Disk Management to create a virtual drive (a .vxd file) on your D:\ drive and point your %TEMP% and %TMP% to that. No need for an extra '\' that way.

 

Thanks for the suggestion! I have been away from the windows world for ten years, and there is so much that Windows 10 can do that I didn't know it could do.

 

You're welcome, thank for the rep.
