    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



    Regards
