Simple way to remove or delete temporary files in Windows 10

Using a manual batch script to delete temporary files on Windows 10 is a straightforward way to perform cleanup tasks with just a simple text file containing commands. Essentially, you write a set of instructions in a text editor that tell your computer to delete files from specific temporary folders. Once created, you can run this script whenever needed, and it will remove unnecessary temporary files, freeing up space and potentially improving performance.

Here's how it works in your own words:

1. Create a text file and write commands that tell your computer to delete files from the Temp folders — both your personal temp folder and the system-wide temp folder.

2. Save this file with a .bat extension — this turns it into a batch script that your system can execute.

3. Run the script as an administrator to ensure it has the necessary permissions to delete all files, especially from system folders.

4. When executed, the script will go through the specified folders and delete temporary files, providing a quick way to clear out junk files manually.

It's like giving your PC a quick "cleanup" command that you can run anytime, without needing third-party tools or complex software. Just a simple, custom set of instructions you control, making it a handy, efficient method for routine maintenance.
