Why is there a Temp folder?

(1/2) > >>

๖Ϝцzsioᴎ:
I found 3 temp folders in 3 directories in my machine, Windows, User folder, and Internet Browser.
Just wondering why there is a Temp folder when it's completely useless.

If you dont have a temp folder, your harddrive will fill up with youtube videos etc because it has to download them to play them.
Same with Flash games, websites, and yeah. Pretty much all the websites you goto is temporarily stored on your machine.

No lol. You're thinking of RAM I'm pretty sure. The files aren't actually stored on any of your hard disks.
Anyways, I'm pretty sure those are useless. I don't think it's worth deleting them as if they are needed again then they just get re-made. They might be used during installations or things like that, I think.
