Performance :: Won't Delete Temporary Files

Dec 26, 2015

My Inspirio 14 laptop currently has 5.74 GB of useless files sitting around in it, but none of the tools to delete them are working. Both Disk Cleanup and the option in the menu at:Settings>System>Storage>This PC>Temporary Files.Disk Cleanup won't even start, even allowing for some time. (I waited a full hour for it, still nothing.)I need to know where I can access these files to delete them myself. I already deleted things in the %temp% and prefetch folders, which brought it from 6.25GB to 5.74. I have tried running Disk Cleanup from every menu and shortcut it has, but none have worked.

Performance :: Temporary Files In Settings Not Deleting

Performance :: Delete Or Moving Files Has A Delay?

Feb 3, 2016

Over last few weeks I have been noticing that when I go to delete a file or move it another folder it will actually take around 5-10 seconds to actually execute. I dont mean slow transfer but its like the process hangs for a bit. Weird thing is that it doesn't do it every single time, and hard to predict it. Everything else on my pc is working normally. My C: is a Crucial SSD

I have run disk check and disk clean and completes with no problem.

I tried running sfc /scannow both in safe mode and normal boot however it comes back with the following message. "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some

of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windirLogsCBSCBS.log. For

example C:WindowsLogsCBSCBS.log. Note that logging is currently not

supported in offline servicing scenarios."

Ok, so I start digging into google trying to figure this out as im not sure what im looking at in the logs and I come across a few other commands to try

Dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth - the message I received "The component store is repairable.

The operation completed successfully."

Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth - Error: 0x800f081f

The source files could not be found.

Use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see Configure a Windows Repair Source.

The DISM log file can be found at C:WINDOWSLogsDISMdism.log

Batch File For Deleting Temporary Files

Mar 26, 2016

I've just made a very simple batch file for cleaning my temp folder. I've put the .bat file in my startup folder so it would clean TEMP when i log in. I've wrote down the following lines:

rd D:TEMP /s /q
md D:TEMP

As i said, very simple. But the problem is that it is not working. I also think i know why; there are files and folders in the temporary folder that are in use so the batch file can't delete them.

Temporary Profile - Can't Access Or Files Created In This Profile Will Be Deleted When Sign Out

Sep 1, 2015

When one of my family members goes to sign in, it says "preparing windows." Then, once they are logged in, it says "You've been signed in with a temporary profile. You can't access your files, and files created in this profile will be deleted when you sign out. To fix this, sign out and try signing in later." The problem is still persisting a day later. Aif I turned off sync settings, would that prevent this from happening?

Performance :: Delete Or Move Some Stuff

Feb 23, 2016

I have a new laptop with C: drive a 128 SSD and D: a 1T.

I have upgraded to Win10 which is on the SSD. I also put Armored Warfare on that drive as well as Bitdefender. The drive had some stuff from Acer and I have deleted or moved some of it - some still left.

I would now like to download FireFox and put that on the SSD as well but only have 17GB left.

There is, of course, a ton of stuff in Win10 that I don't need or don't need on the SSD.

Is there any place I can go to find just what I can delete without causing a problem - Keeping in mind that I did delete some wrong things and had to re-download and start all over.

Also, what can I move to the D: 1T drive and how do I do so so that they still work?

Folders And Files That Will Not Delete

Feb 10, 2016

I recently deleted some mp3 files and folders, then when I emptied the Recycle Bin I inadvertently answered "no" to the "are you sure you want to delete these files" question. Now they are sitting on my recent files / frequent folders page and will not delete again. When you analyze them they are 0 bytes, so not taking up any space (also may be the reason they won't delete) but they are cluttering the area and I need to get rid of them. My laptop is brand new, under warranty, but Dell support saying it's a software issue. I went on You Tube and found one video that demonstrated a method of deleting them through the "Command Prompt" screen, but this didn't work.

Why Did The Update Delete Almost All Files

Feb 1, 2016

As I was teaching a class today Windows 10 started an update that I did not approve. It just started. When it booted back up there was a dialogue box saying all my files were where I left them. When I click on the listing of the 20 most recent files in Word, I can open those. But the folders in which they were housed cannot be found.

Installation :: System Files To Delete

Aug 7, 2015

There are 3 boxes that refer to Win 10 installation and when you try to delete them it says you will not be able to go back to your previous OS.It is substantial space as I believe one box contains something like x amount of GB's.I have imaged Win 10 so I think could delete them but isn't it more likely I should keep them in case I need to go back and an image failed? Is it subjective or is there a rule of thumb regarding this issue?

Installation :: How To Delete System Files On Other HDD

Jul 27, 2015

I just installed windows 10 onto my first SSD (Made it my master drive) and i'd like to delete every file and folder on my old HDD except the one in which all my games are installed (Not program files its a folder labeled "Games" in the root directory).

But I keep needing permission from "SYSTEM" Or "TrustedInstaller" to remove them. Do i have to use the "take Ownership" Regedit to do it? or is there some faster way?..

Also i do not have another drive to move the games to that would allow me to format the HDD.

Windows Storage Files - Can't Delete

Jan 10, 2016

I received an ASUS Transformer T100-HA, which is essentially a Windows 10 tablet with a keyboard docking platform. I love it. Not entirely a fan of Windows 10 yet, but it is somewhat growing on me.

In the Windows 10 Settings panel, under the Storage options and the main OS drive, (a built-in 64GB SSD) I have the option to clear out temporary files and other data that is taking up space where it is not needed.

However, when I click the button to delete temporary files, it tells me to wait a moment, then goes back to showing the 16.4GB of occupied space that it had before.

I can go to any folder and delete files, but I when I see the same files in a search result, pressing del does nothing and when I right click, I have no option to delete them like I do when I'm just viewing a folder. Am I missing something completely obvious here? Is this really a feature or a bug or what?
