My Temporary Files reads over 1,000 kb, mb or whatever it says, but how do I find Temp.Files in my computer?

Question

Not for people who are too technical in their answers, please.

There are, possibly, some I want to save and delete the others.

Answer 1

Go to Start -- Run
type %temp%
press enter.
== a separate window would appear with list of all temp files. If you want to delete them, which you should do once in a week -
select any one file
press "ctrl+A"
press delete
select yes.

Answer 2

You don't really need to find your temp file. To clear up the space you're talking about all you have to do is this.If you're using the new IE. Click tools at the top of the screen. Select internet options. Then click delete. A box will pop up select delete all files, click OK. If you are using an older version of IE click tools/ internet options. click delete on this page. When the next window pops up check off the box to delete off line items/ hit OK. You will also see clear history near the bottom of the window click that. After you have deleted off line files and history you can clear your cookies. Click settings/ view files. Here you will see a list of all the places you have been. You can highlight them all by clicking edit (at the top of that window). From the drop down click select all. Once all of the items are highlighted right click on them and click delete. You will see a warning asking if you want to delete cookies click OK. Now you have cleared all of your internet secrets. If you are using Mozilla. Click tools/ clear private data. Check off all that apply and click clear private data now. I hope this helps.
