Casey06 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 In the advanced settings, options menu, the first option is: Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours. Is there any reason why I should NOT delete these files? I ran CCleaner with this box unchecked after running it with it checked, to see what files it would find, but since I'm new to this I wasn't sure and thought I should ask first. If anyone could help me out I'd appreciate it, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleting them immediately may cause corrupted and/or incomplete installs. 48 hours is considered a reasonable delay for delete them without cause any problem.
