    How do I access App Data/Local/Temp folder?


    There is a possible malware file in this folder that I want to delete but I can't access the folder. How do I do it?

    Are you using a user account with administrator privileges?

    I can access the folder without any issues.

    If you can't see the folder, you need to go to Tools/Folder Options/View and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files." Also, under "Hidden files and folders" check "Show hidden files, folders, and drives."
