In disc cleanup there is an option to delete temp files
but it says you can
safely delete them only if they haven't been modified in
the last week....
can you do a search to include all files and folders that
have been
modified within the past week,..drag them to the recycle
bin,...go back to
disc cleanup, make sure recycle bin is NOT checked, check
temp folders, and
ok to disc cleanup, then go back to recycle bin and
restore those files and
folders placed there? Will that safely delete those temp
files I don't
need?
