Backup Hard Drive - advice please - Resolved Going Internal for more flexibility

[#1]

I'm not surprised in the slightest - I also wouldn't be surprised if half the mistakes on warranty lengths aren't actually mistakes ........

New drive arrived this morning and the old one taken away - DPD are really good - installed and working fine (about third full)
Interesting discovery - I was trying to see what I could shift over and checked the Windows 7 boot drive. Under Users there was 27.6GB used so I did a lot of digging and found that it was a load of temporary files which hadn't been removed when products were installed (now have 45GB free out of 100GB)
Other than doing a regular clean I wonder if there is any way of stopping it building up a mass of rubbish

If you click on Start and type %temp% in the box then you'll get to the current users temp files.
Other temp files are often stored in c:\window\temp

Linux puts its temporary files in /tmp
/tmp will be cleared on the next boot.

That depends ....
I prefer a CRON job - dispenses with the reboot
