Temp files/folders - ok to delete?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Yes, you can delete files in TEMP folders. If you are unsure, reboot and
check the folder(s) again. XP will not let you delete a file that is in
use. Also if you just installed software you should reboot. Then check the
folder(s) again. Some programs require these files after a reboot. It is
good practice to always reboot after installing any software.

You can delete all the Temp files. You can set a cron job to do this for
you - just man cron. Oh wait, you're asking about *Windows*! I thought
you said loudly not long ago that you were switching to Linux.

You can delete the Temp files in Windows, too.

That will happen on a job like this. That is just the type of thing that
can happen. :-)

Reboot.

Open the Temp Folder. Hit Ctrl+A. Hit Shift + Del. If XP doesn't want you
deleting something, it will tell you but I doubt you will get any burbs.

He made a stab, I saw a couple of questions He asked on a Linux NG about
MandrivaLinux LE 2005, apparently He couldn't comprehend the feedback.

If he couldn't understand Mandriva, there's no hope then. (Not a slam at
Mandriva - I've tried it and it is very nice; I just love SuSE better.)
