Delete Windows temporary files to restore space on your hard drive

When you’re working on your computer, Windows creates temporary files for temporary use. These files are generated for backup purposes and to store information in a short period of time. They are primarily to store, transfer, and recover lost data.

If your hard drive is nearing full capacity, you might like to choose to delete your temporary files to free up hard disk space. Here’s how to do that.

What to do:

• Hit Windows + R and type CMD into the search box.
