Windows 10: Windows 10 - Storage Settings > System > Storage > Delete Temporary Files

Hi Microsoft and Community,


In Windows 10 there is a new feature called Storage Sense and in those settings you have a check mark for deleting the Temporary Files. When this is checked, it will work on my machine and delete for example the Recycle Bin.


There is a user that I need to support, where this feature don't delete the Recycle Bin or Downloads Folders with the check mark enabled.


It just won't and don't want to work.


Is this a bug or does anyone know how to resolve this issue, I didn't want to create or reset a user profile. Just want to resolve this without doing that.

Windows 10 PC - Settings->System->Storage->Temporary Files->Delete does not work

I am a little confused by your reply. My concern is not about the "Disk Cleanup" app, but the System Storage on Windows 10 (Settings->System->Storage->Temporary Files->Delete).

This screen says that I have 2.41 GB of Temporary Files. I tell it to delete it and it does nothing. When I bring up

the "Disk Cleanup" app, it says that I have 200 MB of temporary stuff. I go back to Settings->System->Storage->Temporary Files->Delete and it says 2.41 GB.

So, my questions are:

1. Why does Settings->System->Storage->Temporary Files->Delete not delete anything?

2. Where are these "Temporary Files" stored?

3. How do I get rid of these files? Please, don't say "Disk Cleanup" since it does not see these files.

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.
