I hate these junks

Here are some simple techniques to remove your temporary files from your hard drive. These temporary files if not cleared frequently, could take up a lot of space. But, if you are working with internet regularly or didn’t care much about your temporary files, you can keep them. Oh, btw, these temporary files makes your webpage loads faster and makes programs runs much faster, no doubt.

1. Start > Run > Type %temp% in the text field (including %). You can delete all the files from that folder. In case, a file is currently used by a running program, you will not be able to delete it. Do it at a later time, or when you stop every program that is running.

And just press the Up button from this folder and you will see a folder named “Temporary Internet Files”. Guess, you know what to do.

2. Start > Run > Prefetch : You can delete all the files from this folder.

3. Start > Run > Temp : Same as prefetch.

4. You can search for a temporary files yourself by typing *.tmp in the Find files or folders. But this is risky.

To clear history, cache, cookies..etc.etc… you can do it easily from the browser itself. One recommendation, do defrag your hard drives frequently, at least once a week. Do Disk Cleanup. And you can have certain software for junk file removal and registry cleaner.
