I just reinstalled windows 11 was restoring files from my back up and ran out of storage 1tb hard drive 450gb on backup. I ran out of space on C drive. I got to looking around and found out I have 750gb of temp files I don't know how to delete these files. I did get temp files down to 700gb but thats all I could delete. Can someone help?
