-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Temporary Files

Everything in the Windows Temp folder can be deleted. If its in the folder,
then you can rid of it. If the system needs it, it'll be created again.
Regarding the images, they too can be removed. If you tried saving the
images before, then they'll also be wherever you saved them. But, doesn't
affect the temp folder here. Now.. if there's pics in here that you want,
and didn't save them when they were initially seen, then you can go ahead
and copy them from the temp folder to a more permanent location. But, in
general, there's no need for the images unless you specifically want them.
Windows puts them there as a sort of cache. It doesn't need to create the
file again and can bring up the image much quicker than downloading it
again.

Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Temporary Files

Hi,

My Windows Temp files are quite large (86 MB) and Windows Temp Internet 
files (19 MB).  I understand that files with a ~ preceding or a *.tmp 
extension can be deleted.  I have many files with the following 
extensions:  .rmd, .pkg, .oem, .xml, .drv, .aspx, .ini, .asp, .dll, 
.exe, sys, .wmv, .ecw, .jpe, .img, .cab, .reg, .sf2, .nxd, .inf, .skn, 
.gif, .htm, .ahg,. xml., .lib, .adf, .cfg, .mpd, .shl, .vbs,. htc, .png, 
.log, .tag, .css, .hlp, .ins, .doc, .dat, .txt, .cpl, .jar, .js, .exd, 
.mpp, .jpg, .chm.

I know this is a long list of extensions.  Is this information 
incorporated into permanent files?  May I remove any of these files 
without affecting my programs?  Some of the files are images.  Are they 
somewhere else also, or do I need to save the ones I want in a folder?

Thanks for any help.

Beverly
