Hello. Can anyone tell me how to delete temp files in Windows Explorer. I see many files but anm not sure which ones to delete. Thank you Bastet Windows 98

If you are refering to the files in C:/Windows/Temp/ they should all be safe to delete.

Any file with the .tmp extension is safe to delete UNLESS it has todays date which means some current process is using it. Other than that, delete away!

Often, if files are in use, the Windows Explorer will stop and not delete all the other files it could have.

I've started opening a DOS window, going to the C:\windows\temp directory, and running "deltree /y *.*" - no quotes. This seems to do a bit better than the Explorer in those situations.

Just double check and make sure you are in the correct directory.

Bastet:

Reboot your computer, then go into Find - Files And Folders. You can delete everything that appears under:

*.TMP

C:\TEMP\*.*

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\*.*

You need to add at least another 64 MB of RAM, but Windows ME will run even better with 256 MB - as long as the motherboard supports that amount.
