    Problems after modify TEMP folder


    Hi.


    I'm asking here because I have a problem with my windows installation. To avoid damaging my SSD by too much writing, I tried to change the location of the TEMP folder for the user and for windows itself.


    I already did this on another computer and everything went perfect.


    But now, on this computer, everything is happening wrong. Some programs don't work, and a great part of installations fail. Especially the Discord installation, which tells that Squirell is doing it bad.


    I guess this is only a problem of wrong defined path, and I would like to know if there is a way to fix it, without having to reinstall Windows.


    Thank you very much!

    :)

    about temp folder

    Hi Hector,

    The temp folder provides work space for programs. Yes they can be deleted. We suggest that you follow the steps provided by Sangeeta Sarkar on how to delete Temp files on this

    link    . You may also type in the search box Disk Cleanup and hit enter. It will evaluate your disk and give you a list of folders sizes that can be deleted.

    Keep us updated on the status of the issue. We will be glad to assist you further.

    Regards.

    Problems after modify TEMP folder

    OneDrive Temp Folder

    I thought I had this fixed. I moved my local OneDrive to another location then deleted both the old OneDrive and the OneDrive Temp. The new local OneDrive began syncing late last night. This morning when I checked,
    the OneDrive Temp is back and is syncing.

    G:\Storage\OneDrive (new location) (modified 9/1/2015) (currently 11.7 of 255GB) and growing.

    G:\OneDrive Temp (modified 9/2/2015) (currently 6.62 of 255GB) Within this folder is another folder S-1-5-21-3459682553-3355248039-92494815-1000. Inside that folder are about 100+ files and growing with very, very long file names that begin with 9F2BB41D38884688!101
    followed by two similar groups of characters then a final odd group that ends in .temp.

    Still need to stop syncing and remove the Temp folder. The temp is doubling the used disk space.
