Clearing Temporary Files Pt. 1
4:24 PM |
When you are using PC and installing software, or using software, and while browsing internet, many file are saved within the temporary folders which are usually hidden and occupies a lot of space in the windows directory (Drive in which OS (Operating System/The Windows) is installed.
Have you lately used Divx Web Player and observed low disk space. Well, of course that would happen, as when you are watching any video on Divx Web Player it automatically stores the video file in temporary folder so that you would not need to wait for buffering next time you watch it. In other words, it actually downloads that file to your PC at the same time it plays it online. That is one reason that buffering in Divx Web Player is relatively slower than other web players.
You need not to keep that file in your PC, even if you intend to watch it again, as you can simply extract it from the temporary folder and save it to your PC, and if don’t wish, you may delete it to save space.
Now, How to do it.
The file is stored in the folder named “AppData” which is a hidden folder, (Show Hidden Files)
(for Vista and 7 users) C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\LocalLow\Divx\Temporary Downloaded Files\
(for XP users) C:\Documents and Settings \YourUserName\Local Settings\Application Data\LocalLow\Divx\Temporary Downloaded Files\
OR
C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\ Application Data\LocalLow\Divx\Temporary Downloaded Files\
Once the files are deleted, a lot of space will be freed out.

You made great points there. I made a search on the topic and found most peoples will agree with your blog.
I added your blog to bookmarks. And i’ll read your articles more often!
I respect your honesty and your opinion. I'm a man. I never read comic books. I don't know if i could have pointed to Iron Man in a lineup of comic book characters. And i don't particularly like movies based on comic books. BUT I love Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeff Bridges, so i decided to give the movie a chance.
bst reg-s.
Thanks for the great post,i love to read articles that are informative and beneficial in nature.
