    Can't delete temporary files in Windows 10

    Windows 10 says my temporary files have 5.16 GB of temporary files. Using this recommended method

    Step 1

    • Press Windows key + R
    • Type temp and click OK
    • Press Ctrl + A and click Delete
    Step 2

    • Press Windows key + R
    • Type %temp% and click OK
    • Press Ctrl + A and click Delete
    Step 3

    • Press Windows key + R
    • Type prefetch and click OK
    • Press Ctrl + A and click Delete
    the files don't get deleted and looking at the size of the files I find that I have less than 30 Mbytes of temporary files

    My computer (a tablet with keyboard) has only 32 GB of storage

    What do I need to do to solve this problem?
