    Huge number of empty folders in my Windows 11 Windows\Temp folder


    Is this a problem? I seem to have very many folders sitting in windows\temp, which remain even after doing a full Disk Cleanup. meaning even after doing a Clean Up System Files.,I suppose I could delete them all using File Explorer, but that should not be necessary. How many of these empty folders will accumulate? Just seems messy, like careless, sloppy work, does it not?

    :)

    Windows Folder SiZE ???

    Im using vista 64 and the windows folder is HUGE. Its over 18GB and seems to keep on increasing. I only have a 40GB partition for windows and software so im running out of space. Googling about this brought me to topics where users have 8GB windows folders. Im wondering why mine is soo big and what I can do to make it smaller

    Huge number of empty folders in my Windows 11 Windows\Temp folder

    Windows installation folder

    A couple of years ago, I read that Windows has a special folder that contains files used during the installation process. Also, I heard there's another folder that Windows uses as a back-up of every system file, just in case the user wants to do a system restore. Where can I find both folders and are they safe to delete?
