Windows Settings does not clean Temp Files
In the year since Win 10 came out I have tried probably 30 times on about 5 different computers to use Settings to clean Temp files, and have left it for hours, and it has never removed a Megabyte. (Settings/System/Storage/This PC/Temporary files) It says I have 1.36 GB of Temp Files but I don't know where they are; I have used Disk Cleanup and removed all it could find. When I use the Settings Temp Cleanup it says "We are cleaning temp files, come back in a while to check the results", then I leave it for hours or overnight and there is no change. Do I have to leave it for a week to clean Temp files? I would think that overnight should be enough time but I have done it overnight several times and left it for hours dozens of times and I'm pretty sure it has never removed a byte. Why is it even there if it doesn't do anything. I don't like waiting for hours for the computer to do something, only to find that it has done nothing but waste my time.
