Ccleaner cleans the Windows temporary folder and you can specify
additional folders to clean out.

Temporary files cannot be cleaned out 'with impunity'. Sometimes they
hold information a program needs, albeit temporarily.

I'm not making some kind of product endorsement for CCleaner. My point
is, why re-invent the wheel?

Does CCleaner clear the entire Temp folder, or can I specify which
files I want deleted, please? Incidentally, I thought that temp files
were just that : temporary, and could be deleted with impunity unless
a program was actually running and using them.

I clean out temp files (with CCleaner) in two clicks. If you can
stomach one extra click, you don't need to learn about batch files or
take the risk of making a mistake.

Thanks for the reply.
I would like to be able to just click, say, a shortcut after I had
run
the program, rather than open another program to "search and
destroy".
I might as well open the Temp folder and delete them manually,
otherwise. The files are created by Pace Interlok and are totally
unnecessary to the subsequent running of the program. Indeed, each
time the program is opened, yet another load of files are saved
rather
than it using the existing ones and they can multiply to such an
extent that they number in their 100s if I don`t clear up each
time.
The program that uses Interlok is DxO Optics, a very good RAW
converter, and it is a pity that they use such intrusive
anti-piracy
software.
Thanks again

Without knowing what program you're talking about, what kind of
temporary files it creates and why, it's impossible to advise you
on
the wisdom of deleting these files.

But if you're bound and determined to get rid of them, try the
Disk
Cleanup Wizard in Windows, or one of the millions of programs
available for download that do this. (CCleaner is often mentioned
here.)

Apologies if this is not the place to ask this question, but I
would
like to create a .bat file or something to delete the dozens of
temp
files which a program I have leaves in my Temp folder every time
I
run
it. The files are always named in a particular way so can easily
be
identified, I think/hope. I do not want to delete all of the
files
in
the Temp folder, though. Is this possible, please, and how would
I
go
about it?

Many thanks
Kate
