I run XP Pro, Service Pack 2, all critical patches up-to-date. My
\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Local Settings\Temp
has over
2600 FILES in 302 DIRECTORIES, totaling 1.4 GIGABYTES.
Those are whopping numbers for a supposed temporary directory, aren't
they?
What if I just completely zapped the whole Temp directory content,
subdirs and all?
There was one discussion last year on how to clean/purge
\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Local Settings\Temp
but unfortunatly, on further search it turns out that some people
completely messed up their system with this purge, to the point of not
being able to restart.
Someone in the original thread recommended
http://www.ccleaner.com/
but I have a problem handing a critical purging function to a third
party executable blackbox.
Would anyone out there have any further advice, info or recommendations
with regard to the SAFETY OF PURGING
C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Local Settings\Temp"
Thanks,
