Testing appears to confirm what you said. My "C:\Windows\Temp" directory ballooned to 63GB on one of my computers, and 76GB (WTF, WINDOWS) on the other. Ridiculous. Microsoft's built-in disk cleanup utility was useless, saved me all of 3GB of space. CCleaner be like, "hey yo, i'll save you like 80 of them gigabytes" and then I was like, "yea let's do that." So thanks, Piriform.

Hey all. I've used CCleaner for a long while now, at least since 2006, and I absolutely love it. Great piece of software, I recommend it to all my clients and use it on my personal computers at home. I'd like to get my work in on it, if we could budget for it (and assuage our I.T. manager that we can still track/log stuff even with your fancy domain version installed). In any case, I was just wondering what the official word is on whether or not CCleaner cleans up the "C:\Windows\Temp" folder in modern versions of Windows. I find that, between that folder and the "C:\Windows\WinSxS" folder (which I am not asking about), those folders can balloon to absolutely preposterous sizes. I was wondering if CCleaner deletes files in the "C:\Windows\Temp" folder?
