Why do people get BSODs
concerning my problems about TMP files, and the topic boss told me off, but I want to reply to Layback Bear's helpful reply, which was:
----------------------------------------"Just a suggestion to try.---------------------------------
You use AVG CloudCare Anti virus. AVG has a poor reputation from people on this forum.
From your specs..
Quote:
USB drives as backups
Internet Speed 10 to 12 Mb per second
Antivirus AVG CloudCare AntiVirus 2015 (Paid) Windows Defender (off)
Remove AVG, everything AVG from you system using their online tool and install MSE.
Then do a Disk Cleanup using this tutorial by Brink.
Disk Cleanup - Open and Use
Give it a try for awhile.
My reply is:
I still have 28,542 temporary files! After restarting my computer (no programs therefore running) I followed Brink's tutorial and ran Cleanmgr. It told me that I had about 8 GB of files. (I can’t remember whether these included the Wastebasket - it probably did.) I asked it to remove Temporary Internet Files and Temporary Files in my C: drive (an SSD) and my X: drive (an internal rotational drive holding all my Documents, Pictures etc. etc.) I also asked it to “Clean up system files” (by pressing the button). Image 1 shows the resulting cleanmgr window for the C: drive.
Cleanmgr was also asked to remove files from the X: drive and the results are at Image 2.
I used Cleanup several times. I restarted the computer but I still have 28,542 files, 95% whose titles end in TMP (after searching the computer for ”TMP”). Here are some examples.
There are about 40 folders and some are in Image 3. The TCD46A3.TMP contains a Word file in which is the Building Bloc Template image. The second has a file “sist02.xsl; the third “ieee2006officeonline.xsl
Further down the list are files shown in Image 4.
About 95% of the 28,542 files are of type FFS_TMP and are on the X: drive. The earliest Mod. Date of these is 11/06/2002. I have FreeFileSync (a backup program). Surely these don’t belong to it?
Therefore, why are all these files still there and how can I delete them?
Thanks
