Failed to clear out Temp Folder in WinME


Recommended Posts

I ran the latest CCleaner on my WinME system and asked it to clean out the System Temporary files but it did not.

 

My Temp and Tmp Environment variables are set to C:\WINDOWS\TEMP

 

Do I have to add that Folder to Options Include area?

 

I don't believe I should have to do this.

Did you do it with administrative privileges?

Did you turn off 48 hr option for Temp files?

You may have to do that Include option.We have so few reports from WinME users.

I am curious to know what files are in the CCleaner folder.

WinME doesn't have administrator privileges Davey.

 

Well it deletes my C:\Windows\Temp files and sub folders. I'm using Win98SE which is similar to WinME. I have my Options\Advanced Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours unchecked. ;)

I am running avast! Home edition and its a Folder and a log file that it created so it could be in use.

 

I made an entry in Include Folder and that did not clean it out as well.

I found the solution.

 

I forgot to enable Custom Files and Folders in the Advanced section. :)

Well I don't use that option and it still deletes all Windows\Temp files and folders. ;)
