Location of Temporary Files on Your Vista or XP System

 

Vista

 

In Windows Vista Temporary Files

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp (%temp)

C:\Windows\Temp (temp)

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files

 

Windows Vista Temporary Internet Files folders

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Low\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

XP

 

In Windows XP Temporary Files

C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temp

     Open the Run dialog box by pressing [Windows]R.

     Type %Temp% in the Open text box, and click OK

     you can safely delete any files and folders that you find there.

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp

 

Windows XP Temporary Internet Files folders

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\

 

But I would have to strongly recommend that you use a program such as CCleaner,

or any comparable program, to clean out your debris.
