Some temporary files are deleted automatically after installation or execution of program but some files are still in the hard drive. These files occupy space in hard drive and spaces are increased with number of files. So when there are many temp files in hard drive it creates problem and available disk space is drastically reduce. There are two types of temporary files one is related to windows and another is related to user. So there are two specific location for temp file in system, one is located under Windows folder another is under documents->user->local settings.
