Delete Temporary Files And Folders Description
It is easy enough to clean up your temporary files in Windows, but we somehow never seem to be able to make time for it. If you want a tool that can perform this task automatically, you should definitely read on.
Delete Temporary Files And Folders is a very simple application that can be run as a scheduled task and removes old files from one or several locations. It lacks a GUI, but it is easy enough to configure.
Clean up old files from a specified location
Simply running the program won’t have any effect, as you need to use a couple of parameters that define the path to the temporary folder and the minimum age of files to be deleted. A usage example is provided by the developer here, and, as you can see, it is not at all complex.
The simplest way to use these parameters is to create a shortcut to the executable file and add them in the Target field. You can then run the application from the shortcut whenever you want to clean files from a certain location.
Create a scheduled task and regularly clean up temporary folders
If you want old temporary files to be deleted automatically, it is probably best to bring up the Task Scheduler and create a new task that is run at startup or on a specific schedule.
The upside of this method is that you can add multiple actions and have the program delete files from several temporary folders at once.
Keep your temporary folders clean with minimal effort
Once you have configured the application, no additional input will be required. It will delete old files automatically and ensure disk space isn’t used up for no reason.
However, it is important to note that, while most files will be sent to the Recycle Bin, and can be restored, some are too large and will be deleted directly.
In a nutshell, Delete Temporary Files And Folders is a useful app that offers a hassle-free method of keeping your temporary folders clean. It is designed to be set up a scheduled task, and it is not that difficult to configure.
