asked on

temp folder under C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\ is over 5GB in size !

Hello,

I recently discovered by accident that my temp folder under C:\Documents and Settings\gebruiker01\Local Settings\Temp is over 5GB in file size !

Several other users are also listed there (under C:\Documents and Settings\) but there folders are only 20MB, they use the pc in the subject not as much.  We use sbs 2003 if that can help.

I have no idea how it got so big, since company policy asks to store files on server (backuped regularly) to prevent data loss.

Can i simply empty this folder, and how does it get so big ? So i can monitor it in the future.

Thanks !
