Unusual Files in Temp Folder

Dear Forum,

I have unfortunately been in ill health and not been in great spirits in the past two days.

Checked my email and a was informed that before I do a complete clean I should do some checks -

One being - %temp% folder - I found quite a bit in there - I was not too sure of the specifications - but being that I am running a clean install tomorrow - I thought it was interesting to show what may have been hampering my efforts.

I also was told by the Microsoft Community regarding my database enquiry - which is in an earlier thread - that it requires scanning for malware - it is a SQL Connector Server DB that appeared on my other computer.

On the up side. I still have a computer for use until tomorrow

I will be posting back on the other link regarding the clean boot. I did not realise I had so much data on my computer.

Thank you

Mel

Thanks Community,

It came up with the error that some of the files had names that were too long to go into the recycle bin and then I worry that I have deleted the incorrect files.

I already have been informed on here that I should clean out my recycle bin - Is that recommended?

Thanks for your advice - invaluable.

I ran the CC Cleaner - with the defaults - was a bit apprehensive that it would delete everything permanently. But I guess that is what the program is designed to do.

Thanks - I am only a novice.

I also like the CC Cleaner - I disabled some startup programs in the the tools section.

You have enlightened me. I will not change that much.

If I require further assistance - you are the best.:)

I only know how to do screen captures because of the fantastic link given to by a member on here.

I am hoping to dedicate the book to the patience of people that assist person's of my ability.

I am also trying to follow the surgeons orders. Pretty tough. Misdiagnosed. If you are having headaches etc - get yourself checked. I thought I just used a computer too much.....

I come from an accounting back ground. Car accident - bang - terminal brain tumour.

Thank you.

What is the difference between Partition Wizard and CC Cleaner?

I also am wondering if and when to run defrags?

Sorry for silly questions.
