Purge de la corbeille et des fichiers temporaires

Vider la corbeille et les fichiers temporaires permet de supprimer les fichiers devenus inutiles, et aussi de faire de la place sur le disque dur. Il est possible de vider la corbeille et d'éliminer les fichiers temporaires manuellement, mais vous pouvez aussi régler l'ordinateur pour qu'il le fasse automatiquement à votre place.

Temporary files are files created automatically by applications in the background. They can increase performance by providing a copy of data that was downloaded or computed.

Automatically empty your trash and clear temporary files

  1. Go to the Desktop and start typing File History & Trash.

  2. Click on File History & Trash to open the panel.

  3. Switch on one or both of Automatically Delete Trash Content or Automatically Delete Temporary Files.

  4. Set how often you would like your Trash and Temporary Files to be purged by changing the Automatically Delete Period value.

  5. Use the Empty Trash… or Delete Temporary Files… buttons to perform these actions immediately.

You can delete files immediately and permanently without using the Trash. See Suppression définitive d'un fichier for information.
