BlankWas having problems, which seem to be fixed now. I cleared all my temporary files, but read somewhere that there are hidden temp files that should be removed for a cleaner system. It said that run...type %temp% and it would bring up hidden temp files. Did that, and sure enough I have pages and pages of them. Is it safe to clean those up too?

Thanks,
Helen
 
BlankYes. If something shouldn't be deleted you won't be able to delete it. If you use disk cleanup it waits till a file hasn't been used for 7 days.
