Working at a computer, I think you have often come across the notion of time data. It's time to find out where the temporary files are stored, and what is the point of storing them.
The first thing to note is that many programsretain some intermediate information to speed up access to work. As an example, consider the operation of a standard web browser. This makes it very easy to understand the mechanism of caching.
Cache (in translation from the British - a secret place) -A special repository of information, from which time data is taken to reduce certain work operations. For browsers, using the caching method allows you to speed up loading of visited resources and not clutter the communication channel with redundant packets of commands sent to the server.
Storage. Where are the temporary files of opera and other programs stored
It's simple. Most of the created intermediate files are stored in the user's profile folder in the Application data sub-directory. This, as for temporary application data.
Системный кэш обычно прописывается специальной The variable% temp%, which maps the path C: Documents and Setting to the user name Local SettingsTemp (sometimes C: WindowsTemp). As for applications, creating a system cache increases its speed.
As for programs, such as word, the cache is alsoallows you to restore accidentally lost documents. Where are the temporary word files stored? The program creators defined the MicrosoftOfficeUnsavedFiles subdirectory in the Application Data folder (this update applies to windows xp).
But, as a rule, go deeper into memorizingtemporary ways are not necessary. Because accidentally lost information, most modern applications and utilities are restored automatically. This applies to Microsoft Office software (word, exel, powerpoint), opera and other popular developments from different manufacturers.
Cleaning temporary content
Of course, know where the temporary files are storedsystem and programs is useful, but it is equally important to periodically clean up the heaped content. Since the performance of operations can dramatically decrease, up to the so-called "hangs".
When working with browsers, including localWindows Explorer, you often want to keep the privacy of visiting websites or folders with files. To do this, they have a special cleaning function. Among the deleted data are also temporary cache files-all possible fragments and interactive objects from the pages of visited resources.
Using Ccleaner and auslogic utilities
As already mentioned, a large accumulation of temporary content can slow performance. And remember where the temporary files are stored for each program is too tedious.
Fortunately, there are ways to clean up with the help of complex software. First, let's look at the non-commercial tool Ccleaner.
The utility can be downloaded on the Internet. There is also a Russian version and explanations to it.
At the first start, the "Cleaner" block is activated.It has two tabs. The first one allows you to select the system temporary files to be deleted, the second - the application data from categories: browsers, flash-players, office applications, archivers, etc.
The next "Registry" block allowsScan the registry for errors and garbage. All found errors can be cleared by turns or immediately. Before each change, it is suggested that you create a backup of the registry status.
For the auslogic utility, the task is performed in one operation at a time. The fact is that this software includes the module one check button. With it, you can configure cleaning options, which include:
Clean up the temporary contents of the system and programs.
Clearing erroneous registry entries.
Check for logical and physical errors of the selected partitions.
Defragment selected partitions.
These actions should be performed at least oncein two weeks, to maintain optimal performance and speed. However, the tools described above are chargeable and allow professional diagnostics and optimization of operating system settings.
