Thanks. And I guess that means he meant a C:\WINDOWS\system32\%TEMP%
folder or C:\WINDOWS\system32\TEMP folder.
I have only a c:\windows\temp folder in the Windows folder.

When I run “dir %TEMP%” in Powershell, I get:
_________________________________________________________________________________
dir : Cannot find path 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\%TEMP%' because it does not
exist.
At line:1 char:1
+ dir %TEMP%
+ ~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound:
(C:\WINDOWS\system32\%TEMP%:String) [Get-ChildItem], ItemNotFoundExcepti
on
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId :
PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetChildItemCommand

If Jim was talking about the temp folder here:
Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Local\Temp
I regularly clean it the same way that I do the temp folder in the
Windows folder.
