Windows 95 File Removal - Uninstall - Recycle Bin

Delete REAL Win95 Waste

SUMMARY: Delete temporary files to save space.

Unfortunately, many Win95 files tend to leave waste files in the TEMP directory from time to time. These files may be unneeded data files, files that the program has simply "forgotten" about, or files created and not deleted due to a program's abnormal termination. In order to free up some more room on your hard drive, it may be wise to occasionally "visit" the WINDOWS\TEMP directory from "Explorer" and delete the files there. BE CAREFUL!!! Definitely DO NOT delete files that were created today, or yesterday... files created several weeks ago are usually safe to delete. If you are not sure which files to delete then do not worry about using this "trick" unless drive space gets to a minimum.
