Unusual Option for Removal of Temporary Files for System/Setting/Storage/This PC/Temporary Files

Hello,

I have Windows 10 version 1803 on HP Spectre x360 laptop with a SSD drive, 232 GB.

I have 170 GB of free space. There are no saved documents, pictures or videos.

I have only installed apps and software installed when I purchased the laptop.

My question is:

When I go to Windows Setting, select System, select Storage, select Local Storage/This PC, Storage Usage displays, select Temporary Files showing 423 MB from the selections offered.

Upon selection for Temporary Files, it opens - shows listings for the Remove Temporary Files.

Two particular selections/options to remove files concern me.

These are:

Deletes all system restore points - 4.28 GB

Compress your OD drive - 13.7 GB

These two are not checked for removal, rather they are highlighted in White.

Why are these particular two items are being displayed?

Will these eventually disappear or remain forever?

Any suggestions, recommendations or advice to these questions would be greatly appreciated.

 

24.2 GB of Temporary Files safe to delete?

Hello! I seem to have 24.2 GB of temporary files and I was wondering if it was safe to delete them. I've looked it up but I'm not quite sure what these files are or why they are using so much space. 24 GB seems rather absurd for temporary files and I didn't
want to delete anything important. Is there a way to view what these files are? Thanks!

 

Storage Check - Not able to clear temporary files worth 1.3 GB from lumia 820

I was quite impressed with storage check since the time I installed it (immediately after its release). Until recently when a week back I saw that my lumia 820 displayed a message "your phone memory is full".



Generally the free space used to vary between 1.6GB to 2GB. But suddenly the free space was reduced to only 567 MB. I tried using the clear button and it marginally improved to 834 MB. I don't know which update of Nokia has affected it???????
Could anyone please advise action to increase the free space. Before that
let me list the apps on my phone -

AccuWeather, Alarms, Angry Birds Roost, App Highlights

Blink, Box

Calculator, Calender, Camera, Cinemagraph, Creative studio

Facebook

Games, Google Mail

Here+Tips, Here City Lens, Here Drive + Beta, Here Maps, Hotels.Com

Internet Explorer

Kids TV

Live Mail

Messaging, Music + Videos

Nokia Care, Nokia Music

Office, One Note, Outlook

Panorama, PDF Reader, People, Phone, PhotoBeamer, Photos, Priority Club Rewards

Settings, Sky Drive, Skype, Smart Shoot, SophieLens for Nokia, Store

The Times of India, Transfer my Data, Trip Advisor

Unit Convertor

Wallet, Weather, WhatsApp



I don't know what has happened but I was regularly using the storage check at least twice/thrice in a week to clear the temporary memory which used to vary between 230 KB to 450 KB. After running the clear button the Temporary Files used
to stabilize at around 230 KB on the bottom side. But now I notice that the temporary file is 1.3 GB which is far more than it was. I try to clear the temporary Files but it is still the same as if no action is taking place. Could anyone
please suggest ways to clear the Temporary Files????????????



I have also notice that The Overview of storage check shows the following

Apps 1.5 GB

Media and Files 3.3 GB

System 1.8 GB

Free space 834 MB



The point I would like to highlight is that I do not have anything of Media and files on the phone memory. I have installed the memory card of 32 GB and it is the default option to save the photos and videos. Could someone please
suggest ways to reduce the Media and Files.



I would request the experts to please help me clear maximum memory as free space through step by step guide (I'm a novices).

Thanking you in anticipation
