In my windows server 2008r2 i was running out of free space I have deleted following folder contents
- C:\Windows\Temp
- C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue
But when i run %temp% in run it navigates to C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\3
I was expecting it to navigate to C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\
Can i delete contents of C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\ or only C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\3 ?
What is the actual temp path?

1Another place that you can look to get some space back is in c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download. All the windows update servicepacks and patches gets downloaded here. After you installed everything you can delete all the files in the download folder. Should get you a bit of bytes back. – StBlade – 2014-06-10T07:13:51.850
@StBlade Nice. Is there any other folders which i can delete? Please share. – IT researcher – 2014-06-10T07:28:00.457
1You can also remove all the profiles of the users that do not login to the server anymore. Right click Computer -> properties -> Advanced system settings -> Advanced -> User Profiles. BE CAREFUL!! Only remove users that do not login to the server anymore. Otherwise you are going to get a lot of angry emails and telephone calls. – StBlade – 2014-06-10T07:41:30.097
@StBlade: It helps if the windows update service gets stopped before you try to delete (start, run,
net stop wuauserv). – Hennes – 2014-06-10T15:01:18.377@Hennes This will help, if you find a particular update in the download folder that does not want to delete. From experience, I just made sure that all updates were installed and deleted the files without any problems. This in a local and WSUS enviroment. – StBlade – 2014-06-11T15:32:22.653
