Needed semi annual clean out temp files for user in Windows 10 because login is slow fix.

I always forget where this is or what it is called. There should be a button for this. There was 20 gigs sitting in there. Reminds me of Windows 95 days and registry cleanout.

I use Glary Utilities (https://www.glarysoft.com/) to clean up my computers. Nag screen every once in a while, but for free, it's OK.

WinDirStat has helped me quite a few times to track down some space hogging directories.

@D-4got10-01 it is not just space. The user temp files get parsed every log in. So when it gets big the login time gets longer and longer. Clearing out those temp files returns you to insta logins.

@Demolishun Yes, I get that.

It wasn't my intention to suggest otherwise.

I just mentioned WinDirStat because one of the PCs I have is a small think akin to this:

Fun little thing, although it really depends on one's needs.

I needed a portable MS Office, so this works well for me.

Thing is, the storage in mine is only 64 GB && AppData\Local\Temp is not the only sinkhole for storage.

Anyway, performance-wise, clearing the AppData\Local\Temp is a good tip / reminder.

I do actually need to clear that one, too, as the device has been a bit slower, recently.

Sad stuff

*think -> thing

...damn typo...

@D-4got10-01 holy shit that device is cool. I kinda want one without windows though. Would be great for cheap projects.

@Demolishun It is kind of cool.

I've connected a 256 GB SSD to it via an SSD <-> USB adapter && am dual booting.

Windows 10 is on the device by default, but Linux Manjaro is on the SSD.
