The WinXP Disk Cleanup utility is supposed to get rid of .tmp files, so long
as that box is checked... which it is. However, even after running Disk
Cleanup, I do a Search for *.tmp and a plethora of files pops up on the list.
I heard somewhere that any .tmp file is only that, temporary, and can be
deleted with relative impunity. But I also notice that when I attempt this,
some .tmp files come with a Delete warning that they are System Files and...
(etc.). I have deleted them anyway and, as far as I know, haven't suffered,
but I do wonder to what extent all these are really 'temporary,' and which
should be left untouched.
All tips very much appreciated... thanks!
