Temporary files increasing every day by the gigabyte

Anonymous

Yesterday I went to a computer repair person because I was getting messages that I was out of storage. He had never heard of this problem but he ran a piece of software and said I would be good for a long time. Well since yesterday another 6 gigs of temporary files have appeared in my storage. I read some other articles first in this forum and tried the troubleshooter method and that didn't do anything. It said it could not find anything wrong. I don't want to bring it back to the computer repair person because he was just as perplexed as I am right now.

I don't think so. I got some great help from this Forum that solved my problem. It appears to be holding without adding any more temporary files

Good news. Hope it stays that way, and that the procedures you performed won't cause trouble when future updates try to install.
