Moderators Andavari Posted September 8, 2007 Moderators Share Posted September 8, 2007 Hi guys Just wondering if it's necessary to let windows keep the contents of Temp Folders for 48 hour's?, is this just a safeguard? Well years ago it used to be keep all the junk for 7 days, then some started going the 2 day ("48 hour route"). Personally I just get rid of it right away. A safeguard yes, but only if installing and uninstalling software that requires the usage of the temp folder after a reboot. However if any other software is storing important or needed files in the temp folder it's just plain stupid programming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had the option "unchecked" for about 6 cleaning sessions with "CCleaner" and have had no problems http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds http://www.piriform.com/docs http://www.postimage.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
