    Temp Folder Emptied?


    Does the Temp folder get emptied regularly? I have a screensaver that stores the options in the Temp folder, and every weekend I have to setup the options again. Something is clearing the folder out every weekend, I just had to go in and redo the setting again this morning, and I have no idea what it is. I do not remember setting anything up to empty the folder. If anyone has any suggestions of things that I can check, please let me know. Setting up the screen saver is not hard, but it just bugs me what is doing this. I am not sure how long this has been going on, but I never remember this happening on my old computer.

    Thanks.

    -- Shawn

    P.S. My Windows Version Number is 1903, and the old computer was an older version (I think it might have been the previous version.)

    :)

    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.

    Windows 10 jump lists showing temp files

    Hi Vanessa,

    Thanks for the reply. I did what you have suggested. But the thing is jump
    list items are shortcuts     to the files and/or folders not the files and/or folders themselves. Now the %temp%, temp and prefetch folders are empty but the links to jump-list still remains. So now when I click on them, it shows me this.
