Those should be part of your profile and not stored in a temp folder.

Right well. I tried erasing 9gb of temporary files on my SSD on my Main desktop.. And you know what happened? instead of going 6gb to 15gb i went down to 5gb left on my SSD... Anyone got any ideas? It doesnt seem disk cleanup worked.
Did you empty the recycle bin ?
Maybe the deleted files are still using space there.
Disk Cleanup and other utilities may not correctly (if at all) if there is not enough (10%) free space.
I'm not going to re-read this whole thread, so if these have been suggested and done, ignore my ideas ...
Your [C] drive is 750 GB, right ?
If so, i assume you store all USER data on [C] - Pictures, Videos, Music, Documents, etc.
Do you have Hibernate enabled ? That can take a big chunk of space.
Do you have a PageFile on [C], and how big is it ?
Those can be 2 big space eaters that could easily be removed, so you have more free space to work with, at least temporarily.
If all your USER data is on [C], can you COPY some of the LARGE files to a different drive/partition ?
If a COPY is successful, then you can delete the files from [C].
DON'T do a MOVE, do a COPY, then a delete !
A MOVE could fail and you could lose the file !
Using Shift-Delete deletes a file permanently, it does not get moved to the recycle bin.
