                         What are Temporary Files?

                 Temporary files are created temporarily by programs that store information related to the file you are working on
                 in your computer. It  increases the efficiency of  the software and also helps in recovering the data at the time of
                 unexpected closing of the file due to power failure or system shut down.
                 Temporary files are deleted automatically when the task or program you have been working on is completed.
                 If all the programs in a computer are closed and temporary files still exist then look for files with the extension
                 .tmp in the folder TEMP. They are of no use and they block a lot of disk space. It is better to delete them as they
                 hinder the performance of your computer. If the deleted temporary file is required by the program again then it is
                 automatically recreated without affecting your programs.

                 Step 1    Double-click  the  Computer icon on the

                 Step 5    Disk Cleanup  Dialog box
