When I look in windows 10 at the Storage usage it says I have 8GB+ of temporary files.
When I select the Temporary Files link it takes me to a list that looks very like the disk cleanup options and only comes to 30Mb. where is the other 8Gb...
I have looked in all of the locations I can think of and looked at previous super user questions/answers. I understand that windows 10 has multiple temp locations but I thought I had looked at them all.
What I have tried
- C:/Windows/temp
- Appdata/local/TEMP
- Disk cleanup is fully cleaned (including system files)
The total appData folder is now only 400Mb so I know its not hiding in there.
I know they are in the C://Windows folder (as its size is roughly the size of the systems + temp categories).
Can anyone help with finding these temp files.
Actually those are temporary files, they just failed to get cleaned up automatically. DIsk cleanup does not check the software distribution folder. – Moab – 2019-12-29T15:57:54.383
