    WHY IS MY TEMPORARY FOLDER HIDDEN WHEN I GO TO STORAGE SETTINGS ?


    I AM GETTING VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS. I downloaded that tree stuff but i don't know which part of the TEMPORARY FILES IS TAKING UP SPACE. Why is Microsoft making things so complicated ? When i go to storage setting, it says i have almost 30 gb in temporary folder but when i click on it to see where it is coming from, NOTHING SHOWS UP THERE.

    :)

    Hidden folders

    I installed `Kane and Lynch` on my PC twice in Program Files(x86) folder but I can`t find them (2 folders with game). But free space on my HDD is lower. So there`re those folders on my hdd. I use option `unhide` hidden folders but still can`t find them. Any suggestions? How can i delete those hidden folders?

    When I run istallation for this game I can see those folders in Program Files(x86) folde.

    I`m using Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

    How to make a Uber Hidden Folder

    • Make a new folder.
    • Change the icon to a blank icon. No icon should appear
    • Rename the folder to a blank by pressing "alt + 255." (NOTE: Press 255 on the numpad) No text should appear.
    • Your done! It is uber hidden. *Big Grin WHY IS MY TEMPORARY FOLDER HIDDEN WHEN I GO TO STORAGE SETTINGS ? :D

    WHY IS MY TEMPORARY FOLDER HIDDEN WHEN I GO TO STORAGE SETTINGS ?

    Settings>System>Storage/Local Storage>Temporary Files?

    Looks like you are on version 1803. I have just checked on an 1803 system and can confirm that the contents of your Downloads folder are included in the total size of 'Temporary files' even though they do not appear in the list of locations you can clear. So it looks like your 'missing' 3.7xGB will be found in your Downloads folder.

    Starting with version 1809, the populated list when you left click on Temporary files now includes your Downloads folder.
