Since my desktop has been getting slower and slower (system resources only 23% free), I decided to run the latest and greatest version of CCleaner (v 1.24.180). Afterwards, my temp directory still contains 101 files comprising 11.3 MB with a bushel full of *.tmp files that are very similarly labeled:
CSDF03E801-3FFA-11DA-9C30-00A0D2107935.tmp
Many of the *.tmp files are 0 bytes but some contain 2330 KB. What are these files being generated from and how do I delete them since I "cannot delete" and "access is denied"
Wild guess here, but are you running Webroot SpySweeper Ver 4.0? If so, Webroot borrows the Temp folder for storage of it's Real Time Protection "shields" Pretty non-standard, but otherwise a great product. The reason I can't really compare your report to my system is that I've upgraded to Version 4.5 and now get a few hundred more of these But the upgrade is free
Take a look here if you have SpySweeper running, and relax

I am running Webroot SpySweeper Ver 4.0.4 and when I closed the program and rebooted my PC, the temp directory was completely empty upon re-inspection!
What started me looking in the temp directory originally was that I have been trying to LiveUpdate Norton SystemWorks Premier 2005 for a couple of weeks now. At some point, I got a "LU1803" update error. Part of the recommended fix for this bugware from Symantec was to clean out the temp directory. So I used CCleaner to attempt to accomplish this task. But, as I described, I was left with 101 files in my temp directory comprising 11.3MB. Hence my post in this forum yesterday! And maybe it's good that I have documented these findings here because a search of google.com for the *.tmp files turned up nothing!
