Trying To Clear Temporary Files
In the control panel, system & maintenance, free up disk space, there is always something left (3.06 MB) in the temporary files which it won't delete but on my other computer it clears it all out. Is there a way to find out what it is and where the temp folder might be?

Re: Trying To Clear Temporary Files
The location is C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\Temp
You will have to unhide protected system files and Hidden and System files to navigate to it

Re: Trying To Clear Temporary Files
Or another way is to open a command window (with Administrator rights) then type the following.
Code:
C:
cd %temp%
del *.* /s
