Post subject: Temp File Removal
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>perform_maintain (more info?)

I researched all the threads of this forum incl. suggested links regarding
the removal of temporary files to regain some hard disk space. Though I did
not use the MS clean disk utility, I did manually remove all of the temp
files over one week old in all of the temp folders and they are now in my
recycle bin. I reboot my laptop and launched every program I use without
incident; everything performs as expected.

My question: How long should I wait before emptying my recycle bin? There
are .exe, .dat, .dll and .cat files in this purge. I'm a novice at these
things and would welcome some "seasoned" advice.

Thank you, MB
