How long is 'temporary'?

<< < (3/5) > >>

Curt:
- thanks, f0dder. I will take a closer look at dates of age.

app103:
The way I have always done it is to go in there after a reboot and arrange files in order by date modified. Then I delete anything and everything older than a week. I have never had a problem from doing that in the last 10 years, so it's perfectly safe.

cmpm:
Going by date is a good idea.
I don't have any files in that temp folder, today anyway.
I use a couple of other cleaners periodically.
But I would not want to suggest something that does any damage,
or perceived damage.
Plus that's Vista, which I've not used or tried,
although W7 shows as Vista 7. something in some programs.

yksyks:
Another utility for TEMP cleaning (and more): EraseTemp.

However, I'm for years using manual way to cleanse both TEMP folders--using ZTreeWin I just prune both of them, instructing ZTree to keep files that report "Access denied" or "Sharing violation" errors. So far no side effects of any kind (on WinXP and Vista).

Curt:
- good to see that ZTree has been "rewritten as a fully Unicode-enabled application"  :up:
