Unusual Option for Removal of Temporary Files for System/Setting/Storage/This PC/Temporary Files

Hello,

I have Windows 10 version 1803 on HP Spectre x360 laptop with a SSD drive, 232 GB.

I have 170 GB of free space. There are no saved documents, pictures or videos.

I have only installed apps and software installed when I purchased the laptop.

My question is:

When I go to Windows Setting, select System, select Storage, select Local Storage/This PC, Storage Usage displays, select Temporary Files showing 423 MB from the selections offered.

Upon selection for Temporary Files, it opens - shows listings for the Remove Temporary Files.

Two particular selections/options to remove files concern me.

These are:

Deletes all system restore points - 4.28 GB

Compress your OD drive - 13.7 GB

These two are not checked for removal, rather they are highlighted in White.

Why are these particular two items are being displayed?

Will these eventually disappear or remain forever?

Any suggestions, recommendations or advice to these questions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Windows 10 PC - Settings->System->Storage->Temporary Files->Delete does not work

I am a little confused by your reply. My concern is not about the "Disk Cleanup" app, but the System Storage on Windows 10 (Settings->System->Storage->Temporary Files->Delete).

This screen says that I have 2.41 GB of Temporary Files. I tell it to delete it and it does nothing. When I bring up

the "Disk Cleanup" app, it says that I have 200 MB of temporary stuff. I go back to Settings->System->Storage->Temporary Files->Delete and it says 2.41 GB.

So, my questions are:

1. Why does Settings->System->Storage->Temporary Files->Delete not delete anything?

2. Where are these "Temporary Files" stored?

3. How do I get rid of these files? Please, don't say "Disk Cleanup" since it does not see these files.

 

Windows 10 Storage Settings shows I have 67.5 GB in Temporary Files. However, after clicking on it, it only shows 77 MB of files for cleanup.

Hi,

I'm trying to clean up my hard drive space. The Windows 10 Settings under System/Storage shows 67.5 GB in Temporary Files. When I click on it, it only shows me 77 MB files for cleanup. I've already tried the following:

1. Cleaning temporary files from the Settings/System/Storage menu.
2. I've run Disk Cleanup on my drive.
3. I've run "Clean up system files" under Disk Cleanup.
4. I've run CHKDSK in cmd and CHKDSK/F which freed up some space but the 67.5 GB still remains.

Can you please let me know how to find and delete these files?

Thanks!
