  1. Windows Temp folders keep increasing causing C drive low in space on Windows 10


    I have few Windows 10 Pro system which encountered windows Temp folders keep increasing causing C drive low in space.



    I have done the following.

    - deleted all contents in Windows \ temp.
    - stopped windows event log service set and manual.

    - Browse to User Configuration > Administrative Templartes > Windows Components > Store.

    - Enable Turn off the Store application.

    - Open regedit.exe.

    - Browse to HKLM \ System \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ AppXSvc.

    - Change Start to 4.


    But next day, it will still automatically increase in windows \ temp folder.


    Any solution?


    Thanks.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink Windows Temp folders keep increasing causing C drive low in space on Windows 10 ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
    Then type this in command mode as admin
    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.

  4. Windows Temp folders keep increasing causing C drive low in space on Windows 10

    I created one temp folder and windows 10 deleted this folder automatically!

    for today was G:\temp\

    I have C (windows drive), E, F, and G drives and I always created temp folders in G and subdirectories of it. I decided to create temp folders on other drives and other subdirectories for check domain of this problem

    but know this problem happen in something like monthly cycles. the last thing I can say it's my drive free space is low ( <10% ) and think windows trying to free up this space for me :/
