Windows 7 cleanup temp files

There's always files/folders left in those folders, even after running ... Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup or Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase New 11 Sep 2018 #6 Eagle51 said: You guys ever look at C:\Windows\WinSxS\Temp ...

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup or Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase Way above my head. I went there and just saw a bunch of amd64, wow64, and x86 files (no Temp folder). I take it amd64 is amd machines, wow64 is me, and x86 is legacy. If they were in a temp folder I may be more comfortable just deleting them but I'm guessing I should leave them alone. Also, are all those DISM commands okay to run? Only one I've ever used is the RestoreHealth one I believe.I love how I through your question back at you with more questions. New 11 Sep 2018 #7 Eagle51 C:\Windows\WinSxS\Temp ... InFlight, PendingDeletes and PendingRename folders.Do you delete those files?

My disk cleanup seems unable to delete a lot of messages worth of "temporary files" that it sees, even after I went and deleted contents of various temporary folders I found myself. I would like to try delete such files manually, but for this I need to figure out just where are those "temporary files" that Disk Cleanup is detecting and offering to delete.Any suggestions? What folders does Disk Cleanup examine to tally up the temporary files? asked Dec 1, 2012 at 19:46 2 The "Temporary Files" folder that Disk Cleanup is referring to is the one pointed to by the environment variable %TEMP%. You can go directly to this folder by typing %TEMP% in the Run box or in the address bar in Windows Explorer.Disk Cleanup's list of "places to cleanup" is stored in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches. The Temporary Files item is in a key named, unsurprisingly, Temporary Files. answered Dec 1, 2012 at 20:32 3 I couldn't find anything other than %TEMP% in the registry key mentioned by Patrick, so I tried to log cleanmgr.exe using Process Monitor.cleanmgr.exe does a File System Class SetDispositionInformationFile Operation with Delete: True Detail on files in %TEMP%, which in my case according to echo is equal to %LOCALAPPDATA%\TempIt had already deleted the 3 GB unaccounted for by %TEMP% though, and didn't trim the 500+ MB C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log; I suspect most of my wasted space was in winsxs. answered Aug 13, 2015 at 20:23 Cees TimmermanCees Timmerman1,8774 gold badges23 silver badges49 bronze badges

Guest Guest #8 Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)HiEasyCleaner causes problems within XP and has to be configured properly so as not to render XP unusable. Probably best to leave EasyCleaner well alone.-- Will DennyMVP - Windows Shell/UserPlease reply to the News Groups"lvee" wrote in message news:%23%[email protected]...> Have you tried running the defrag, and disk cleanup tools?
