temp folder in c:\users

theterrier, did you look at your environmental variables? Where do you have your user and system temporary files?

Also, your posts are somewhat confusing: you wrote in the first post that this folder is empty, but then you say that when you try to delete it, then the file NTUser.dat cannot be deleted. So is the folder empty or not?

The TEMP folder has other folders in it, App data, desktop, documents,downloads, favorites, links, music, pictures, saved games, videos.
They are all empty it is only the App data folder which has sub folders where the NTUser.dat is. I dont know how to check my environmental variables.

It is normal, theterrier, for Temp, Tmp, Systemp, Temporary Intenet files, etc to accumulate in Windows. They do get recreated if they are deleted. Their purpose is to allow actions to run quicker upon using, say, Media Player again. Some Temp folders get emptied at reboot, some are persistant. Each user will has some associated with their account on the PC.
Download CCleaner, it has the option to delete temporary files, cookies, recycle bin, etc.

I use CCleaner sometimes I think this is partly to do with my problems

What, exactly, is the problem? I thought you wanted to get rid of temp folders.

I do but CCleaner doesn't get rid of it, I have deleted it but when I use an application it returns

I don't know how much plainer we can be. Windows creates temporary folders to store......erm, temporary files.

They are part and parcel of Windows and I just don't understand why you're so hung up on them. As fast as you delete them, Windows will recreate them.

Just accept the situation as it is and enjoy your computer.
