What are temporary files? A temporary file is a computer file used to store information for a short time. Over time Windows accumulates temporary files used by certain programs and the operating system, once the program has closed these files serve no further purpose. Most of the word processing programs create backup files that take valuable space on your computer. Temporary files are pictures, documents and any file cached on your computer by the on line activity. Cleaning these out will free-up disk space and cause an increase in system performance.Top
