Why do I need the Windows Temp folder (11, 10, 8.1, 7)?


Frequently asked question about what the temporary folder is used for under Windows 11, 10, 8.1 and 7, temporary files are created and removed during operation!



When working with Windows, we do not notice how the system creates and removes a lot of temporary files while it is running. But mostly there is a lot of garbage. Temporary files are saved in the Temp folder. By default, this folder is located in the Windows directory. Settings allow you to specify the location of the folder for storing temporary files.

In Windows there are two system variables that tell the system that the Temp folder contains TEMP and TMP. The need for two variables that are almost identical in their names is due to the fact that some applications need a TEMP variable while others need a TMP variable.

The default folder already exists on the system, in the directory in which Windows is installed and in user profiles. And if absolutely nothing needs to be changed, all further instructions are irrelevant. However, there is nothing that can prevent the Temporary Folder from being modified to make it easier to access. For example, to delete the accumulated temporary files or that the system has deleted.
