temp file information

[Stan Smith]

My temp file is quite full and I don't understand it.
When I go to Microsoft Word, then to History and then to
Open and click on temp, there are tons of entries. I
deleted a bunch of E-mails. For instance, one entry may
show "copy(6)eml.t8 as an example. When I double click,
some unreadable stuff comes up. How much of this file
can be deleted and what is safe. I am faily new to
computers and don't want to mess anything up. Does it
matter how much stuff is in the temp file?

It is always a good idea to delete temporary files on a regular basis. Try
the following steps:

1. On your desktop double-click on "My Computer" (might need to click the
"Start" button to access it).
2. Right-click on the "C" Drive, left-click on "Properties
3. Click the "Disk Cleanup" button.
4. Click in the boxes of all areas you want to delete files (all of them are
safe to delete).

You will see how much space will be gained by deleting them. Hope this
helps!
