Windows temporary files, as the name suggests, are temporary files created by certain programs when they are used.
These files can quickly accumulate and consume some of your valuable storage space, so you may want to delete them.
Also, deleting temporary files can be a good way to improve your PC’s performance if it’s a bit slow.
