how can i delete excel temporary files en mass?

[cs103]

I probably have ten temp files for each actual file. Is there an easy way to
get rid of all the temps?

What determines that they are temp files, did you just save many versions of
the same file or are these .tmp files created by Excel?

Generally, you just select all the files you want to delete and click the
Delete button or press Del key. This can be done from the Open, or Save
dialog boxes or from the Windows Explorer.

Windows also has a Disk Cleanup command which will search and ask you if you
want to delete temp files. This might help.

In Windows Explorer, sort files by file type. Click on the first temp file,
shift-click on the last one. Now all your temp files are selected.
Right-click, choose delete, reply yes.
