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. ---Troth -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Beverly Hahn Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2005 5:21 PM To: Sei-Chat 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.
