Windows Forum / Windows Me / General Topics / August 2006Recyle Bin
I plan on deleting 5 yrs worth of temp files using JV16 Registry Cleaner. According to a recent analysis of this file it has some 286,000,000kb stored in it. In the event I need to recover any of the deleted files, the program designer of the reg cleaner tool suggests sending it first to the recycle bin. What setting should I use for the recycle bin to accomodate a file of this magnitude. >I plan on deleting 5 yrs worth of temp files using JV16 Registry Cleaner. > According to a recent analysis of this file it has some 286,000,000kb [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > bin.

They are all stored in Windows Temp file. > >I plan on deleting 5 yrs worth of temp files using JV16 Registry Cleaner. > > According to a recent analysis of this file it has some 286,000,000kb [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Are these files in the Windows Temp folder? > Yes.

Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disk Cleanup If you reported the size correctly 286,000,000kb = 2.86GB. Make sure the Recycle Bin is set (has enough reserved space) to accept such a large file. The computer may hang trying to send such a large file to the Recycle Bin, Windows ME sometimes has hiccups deleting large files or sending large quantity of files to the the Recycle Bin. If you truly think that the file might be needed later on you might want to back it up to another drive or to DVD. Don't discard the possibility that the whole thing might get lost or corrupted during the deletion process. If you back the file then you can just bypass the RB when you delete it.

If you feel the need to keep these files for a while, be sure to reboot the machine before doing anything. If it were me, I would skip the Recycle Bin and back up to disc(s)......verify the integrity of your backup and then proceed with the cleaning. Unless you have just installed something and have not yet rebooted, there really shouldn't be anything in the Temp file of any consequence......and it should be controlled to something less than almost 3G!
