Saving Memory Space

All Windows Operating Systems have a folder on the hard drive where various applications temporary files are stored. On occasion, it is a good idea to relieve your hard drive of these unneeded files. There are a couple different ways you can find these files:
  1. Open Windows Explorer and in the Address field type: %temp% (including the percent signs) [Enter]. You will then be taken to that folder.
  2. Click Start>> Run, and type: %temp% [Enter]
Any of these temporary files that are found using the above methods are safe to delete.
Note: Sometimes the files are still in use, so deleting them works best immediately following a reboot
