Temporary files are to be the data saved in the PC when using a program, surfing the internet, etc.. The purpose of these files is to provide greater speed to run a program for the second time or faster access. For example when visiting a web page is loaded some images, pictures, etc..
But the second time and thereafter, the website will be displayed directly without loading data. Since the browser is responsible for opening the web page data from the temporary files folder, so you avoid downloading again, so it saves time to enter.
But this service comes to store much data on the PC as time passes, can contain images, executables, applications, texts, videos, etc.. By having many files accumulated in the memory, the computer becomes slower by excessive use of memory resources. To avoid this there are several programs that delete temporary files.
Although every time you log off, the computer is responsible for deleting temporary files, however it may be that the PC is shut down incorrectly and not time to remove temporary.
You can also use the tools provided by the Internet browser (IE8, Mozilla Firefox , etc..), for example the automatic deletion in each logon or at least the manual deletion. For browsers Internet Explorer should follow the following path: Tools \ Internet Options \ Advanced, then at the end of the list check "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed".
For the Mozilla Firefox browser, the path would be: Tools \ Options \ Privacy after the item "Firefox will:" you select the "Use custom settings for history" then on the bottom it will mark the option: " Clear history when Firefox closes ".
This new configuration automatically deleted from now on all history every time you close the browser. But if you prefer to remove the history at any time you can do it in a more simple, for Firefox by going to the Tools tab, Options and choose "Clear Recent History" and the IE8, the route is Tools \ Options Internet \ General and choose Delete.
Another way is not so used to go directly to the folders and delete them manually. You must know that since Windows 95 (to Windows 7) TEMP folder in the path C: \ WINDOWS \ stores temporary files in the prefetch folder and the same route saves all sessions of the programs are started.
Usually temporary files in the folders are hidden so to remove them should make them visible. The path My Computer \ Tools \ Folder Options \ View And uncheck the option "Do not show hidden files and folders".
A more accurate, is to go to the Start menu then Run and type% TEMP%, that way will the TEMP folder with the files and finally proceed to delete. You should also delete the files that are in the recycle bin.
Most temporary files have a. TMP and is likely that some of these may not be clear because in use by a program. So should close everything and do the erasing procedure, or finally, restart the computer to Safe Mode and try to delete them.
There is also another folder where you will find the time, is in the path: C: \ Documents and Settings \ <username> \ Local Settings \ Temp, which should put the name of the PC in the name space User. Then proceed to delete the files, should consider again hide folders that store these files, as explained above.
You can opt to use the Disk Defragmenter tool occasionally.
All the above operation can be simplified if you install a program focused on the topic. This is the famous CCleaner, which cleans all PC and has many tools and remove unused programs, system restore, etc.. It can be configured to start automatically.
