This short guide to
remove temporary internet files is for Windows XP users. I am sure the majority
of you still use Windows XP OS in spite of the presence of Windows 7 and 8 OS.
It is quite often to
see your system slowing down which means sites in your browser take longer time
to load than usual. It implies that it is time to do a bit of cleaning your PC
with inbuilt computer cleaning tools that are easy to use.
The first task for
you to do is delete all the temporary internet files that get stored on your PC
as you surf the web. All of the files are stored in a folder that your PC no
longer uses. It is safe to delete them in spite of a few warnings that you see
while doing the actual cleaning.
Deleting these temporary
files is a quick and easy task and it can save your disk space and keep your PC
clean of digital dust.
How to delete the “Temporary
Internet Files”?
- Click on Start button and
then click on Run.
- In the dialog box you see on the
next screen, type %Temp% and click OK.
- A folder full of files and folders
will appear.
- Press CTRL plus A to
select all the content of the “temp folder” and press the ‘delete’ button on your keyboard.
- Confirm your willingness to delete
by clicking on the ‘YES’
button.
- Invariably, you will see a warning
message that reads “there are hidden files…”
Don’t be alarmed. Just say “OK”
- During this process, almost at the
end of it, you are likely to see another error message that would say, “Error
Deleting File or Folder”. This means that the files mentioned may be in use currently. Just
click ‘OK’. Now, close all the open programs and repeat the steps. Your
system is now cleaned.
- Remember
to ‘empty’ your ‘Recycle’ bin finally.
Ah, you just did a great job as a "computer maid".
