Delete Temp Files3.4.1

Even if there are no malicious files on your computer, you can still experience drops in performance after a long usage time. This is because frequently used bits of data are saved as temporary items on your computer, which can clog it. As such, applications like Delete Temp Files come with the right means to clean up these locations.

Clean interface quickly gets you up and running

First of all, you need to make sure that your computer is fitted with at least .NET Framework 1.1 for the application to properly function. Setup is over before you realize, and you’re also offered to have the program launched right afterwards.The interface is pretty intuitive, even though it’s wrapped around a classic window frame and uses common elements. The application already knows where to look for temporary items, thus not giving you any kind of control over scan directories. This isn’t really an inconvenience, but it would have been useful to be able to select which items to remove.

Little to no control over what to remove

It can take a little while for the application to scan your computer, but this mostly depends on how cluttered temp directories are. The list of items gets updated in real-time, while also showing file and folder count, as well as number of detected items.You can choose to save the log file once the scan operation is over. On the bright side of things, the application doesn’t take action automatically, letting you decide whether you want to delete everything on the list, or only temp files. It’s a good idea to create a backup, just in case you’re not sure whether you need any temp items in the future.

In conclusion

All things considered, we can state that Delete Temp Files might feel like a straightforward application, and it is, but manages to quickly take care of situations in which programs, or even Windows itself starts to show drops in performance because of too many stored temp items.
