Hello

I currently have more than 4 GB of temporary files after cleaning the temp folders.

Where are they?

Thank you

    Hello,

    If it concerns temporary update files that can retain several GB even after cleaning storage in the settings, we can try aiming for more options in an administrator command prompt, though not necessarily more effective:

    cmd.exe /c Cleanmgr /sageset:65535
    cmd.exe /c Cleanmgr /sagerun:65535

    Otherwise, see here for a more thorough cleanup:

      What are they rendered by?

      I had a little under 3 GB at the bottom in Settings-System-Storage-Temporary files (Windows updates, below the checkboxes) that disappeared after the manipulations indicated.
