    The title says it all...

    Deleted all my temp files yesterday.

    Today, i went to check the temp folder, apparently it had 1GB of temp files...

    Why did my computer create 1GB of temp files in one day? Is there something wrong?

    Windows temp folder filling quickly

    Hi,
    SO many Temp files so quickly? [​IMG]


    Can you see the iso file? Here it's on my desktop. It could equally be listed in file explorer.

    Rt clicking it shows the context menu.

    The green arrow shows you the Mount option.

    Click that, and the content of the iso file is available as the next available drive letter in alphabetic order.
