The Microsoft portable version doesn't have a cleanup option—I've looked everywhere, but nothing. It’s not a huge deal yet, though.

Thanks for the advice, everyone. 👍

Not sure what you mean by that. 🤔
I don't want to look like a complete idiot here, but if you're talking about Disk Cleanup, it didn't clear out those temp files either.

BleachBit shows 12MB ready to go in the system category during the preview.
No clue where that number comes from—CCleaner only sees 100KB, and Disk Cleanup sees even less.

Running CCleaner portable—left everything checked at the defaults. It wiped 170MB, but that 1.15GB? Still sitting there. Oh well, at least it gave me a good laugh.

Yeah, during the install, it explicitly told me I needed two gigs of free space on my hard drive—you should've seen the look on my face when I read that. I tried running it again after unchecking a few options, but it just kept saying the same thing. Might be a bug, honestly. I'm not sure.

I'm running out of space on my C: drive, so I did some digging and found this:

C:/windows/system32/config/systemprofile/local settings/temp

There's about 1.15 GB of *.tmp files sitting there. Can I just delete them manually? I can't get CCleaner installed because of some malware issue.

I'm running Windows XP.

Tried installing Norton free, but it needs 2GB just to run the installer, so that was a dead end. I've got some old offline installers for AVG and Avira lying around, but I doubt they'll do much—everything seems mostly stable for now anyway.

Cheers.
