Temporary Files?

[matto97]

Ok so on my SSD OS drive if i go in to Disk Cleanup it says i have 5MB of temp files but in the windows storage settings it says i have 36GB
Should i delete those temp files or are they something different?

is this residual data from like a win7/win8 to 10 upgrade? or did you get all that out already?

Yeah idk I don't trust that win10 settings app. It frankly scares me compared to when I was in Win7 since it says I have less space than my properties window does. Also SSD

yeah just temp files, I tried using that tool and it still left me with the original temp space so maybe some is needed but it will do whatever.

 

it takes a while.
