Windows 10: What are all these temp files on my C drive taking up space? can i delete them?

Im running out of space on my c drive and in a attempt to find things to delete I came upon many TEMP folders with my name on them can I delete if so how and is it ok

"Users" file is taking up all the space on my C: drive

1. Your Temp file of Windows maybe too large. You can manually delete this temp every time from C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp. (Note that AppData is a hidden folder, so you need to check hidden files to view). Or modify the temporary storage path and put it on another disk.

2. Slim down the system installation folder is also an option. The system installation folder C:\windows\winsxs takes up a lot of space on the C drive. Find the corresponding folder in the C drive, and then right-click on the folder—select Properties, then select Advanced, tick the "compress content to save disk space", and then click Apply.

 

C: drive gradually losing space while computer is not being used

Perform the steps to cleanup some space in C Drive as it is occupied by mostly temp files, logs and Update files.

1. Select the Start button, type disk cleanup, then select Disk Cleanup from the list of results.
2. Select the check box next to the type of files you want to delete. (To view a description of each type of file, select the name.) By default, Downloaded Program Files, Temporary Internet Files, and Thumbnails are selected.
   
3. To free up even more space, select Clean up system files, and then select the type of system files you want to delete
   
4. After you’ve selected the types of files you want to delete, select OK, and then select Delete files in the confirmation window to start the cleanup.
   

Also move the files from Desktop, Documents and Downloads to some other Drive as these files will reflect in C drive. So I will recommend you to move these files to some other Drives than C.

Thank You.
