    Temporary files in storage usage says different number than the actual one.


    Hello guys, When I try to delete the temporary files that is show in the storage usage window, it says that the temporary files is 5GB, but when I click on it and try to delete them, it says only 55 MB is available to delete, so what about the rest of the 5GB why I can't delete them?

    Temporary files on my Lumia 720

    Installed Black Update and got the option of deleting temporary files. But it is not working i tried many times - it says "deleting...." but nothing is getting deleted actually - temporary storage size remains the same.

    Any suggestions/solution?

    Temporary Files Storage Usage Runtime Error

    I recently installed the April 2018 feature update. In Settings, Storage Usage I get a Runtime Error message when I drill into Temporary files. After I dismiss the message and the page is displayed, the folders shown don't have any where near the 14.5GB
    shown on the storage usage page.

    Windows 10 Pro, Version 1803, OS Build 17134.48
