Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 1 / May 2008System sp3 Temp files
I have 1,400 temp files in; C;\windows\$ntservicepackuninstall$ in blue color c:\windows\appPatch c:\windows\ime C:\windows\installer C:\windows\fonts c:windows\system32 files like: set514.tmp set120eb.tmp msi26.tmp ren14.tmp All of these are safe to remove???

Presumably you are logging on as an Administrator? I would consider checking the Properties of any TMP file. For example, select (right click) a .TMP file in folder \WINDOWS\Installer and select Properties from the drop-down menu. Is "Read-only" checked? I would expect in to be un-checked. If Disk Cleanup did not remove them in Normal Mode, try running Disk Cleanup from Safe Mode. Unless you know what you're doing you're better off not deleting. If the files are temporary disk cleanup will eventually clean them out, or you can use Ccleaner to safely remove temp files.

In the links provided it says you CAN remove. Why then would some say NOT to delete. I was hoping that a certified MS person would know the correct answer > See replies to your original thread, please: > http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/browse_frm/thr ead/a97f614aa881571c/f9928162c2add70b#f9928162c2add70b [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > > > Thanks These public newsgroups offer peer-to-peer support only.

I think a better use of your time contacting MS, would be to use Google <just teasing>. If you Google text strings like "cannot delete tmp files" you will find links such as.... http://tinyurl.com/63t48m > Thank you for trying. I have sent MS an e-amil and NO ANSWER.
