type %temp% EXACTLY on the run windows. that's where your personal temp folder is. what i mean for personal is for a specific user account temp folder. Otherwise, everyone above has the correct answer.

 

About the cleaning part, if you are using Windows vista and up you can type the word "Disk Cleanup" on search or "cleanmgr.exe" in run window. you can see the size of your temporary files there, as well as other unnecessary file which could be not useful for you.

The Temp folder is the place where information used by programs is kept until the information is no longer necessary. For instance, when a program is installed, information is created in the temp folder to help with the installation. Once the installation is complete, the information in the temp folder is deleted when the computer gets restarted. Sometimes the programs that create information in the temp folder don't delete it, which allows bits and pieces of files to pile up and take up space. To avoid having temp files clog up your computer, clean the temp folder manually in a few simple steps.

As the name implies, the temp folder contains files that are only needed temporally. Unfortunately, these files don't always get deleted after their job is done, resulting in wasted drive space.

To open the temp folder, click Start or go to the Windows8 Search charm, type%temp%, and select the folder that appears.

Once there, you can manually delete files and subfolders. But you probably can't delete all of them. Windows won't let you do away with those currently in use. That's fine. You don't want to delete those ones anyway.

In fact, you really don't want to delete any files created since the last time you booted your PC. So if you shut down Windows every night (and I mean shut it down, not sleep or hibernate), and boot clean every morning, you can safely delete any files in Temp not dated today.

Better yet, you can use an old-fashioned, DOS-style batch file to automatically clean out the folder every time you boot. Here's how:

Open Notepad, and type or paste these two lines:

rd %temp% /s /qmd %temp%

Save the file as %appdata%\\microsoft\\windows\\start menu\\programs\\startup\\cleantemp.bat. This will create the batch file, cleantemp.bat, inside your Start menu's Startup submenu. Everything in that menu loads automatically when you boot.

Dear Hesham Ahmed,

usually the temp folder is located in your windows directory

example

C:\\Windows\\Temp

there is another temporary folder in the user profile

if you want to automate the process of cleaning or emptying those folders you can schedule a disk cleanup utility available in microsoft, it will do the job for you
