    Local Settings Temp Folder
    « on: March 05, 2010, 03:16:11 PM »
    In the username/local settings/temp folder.  Is it okay to delete things in there?

    I'm thinking yes because it's a temp folder but thought i would ask first, and you guys always have the right answer.

    I found some 5 GB of folders which say "from camera" and I'm pretty sure i don't need those.

    Also a lot of folders with 2KB size which say Microsoft Outlook KESetup.

    Things like that.   

    Thanks for the help, again.

    Should be safe to delete...
    If you are unsure create a new folder...move the contents to that folder...if all runs fine after a few boots then delete the folder.

      It's generally okay to delete anything you see in a temp folder AFTER A REBOOT (some newly installed programs place files needed to complete the installation in the temp folder that will run at the next boot).
