Temp Cleaner is a small Python program for Windows whose job is to delete the temporary files that the operating system and many applications leave behind over time. According to the README, it targets two well-known locations: the system-wide C:\Windows\Temp folder and the per-user temporary folder that Windows exposes as the %TEMP% environment variable, which usually maps to AppData\Local\Temp inside a user's profile. Clearing these can recover a bit of disk space. The README is short and the feature list is straightforward. The script cleans both Temp folders, skips any file that is currently locked because another program is using it, and is described as simple and lightweight. There is no scheduling, no GUI, no exclusion list, and no log file mentioned. There are two ways to run the tool. From source, the user runs python cleaner.py in a terminal. There is also a packaged cleaner.exe that can be downloaded from the GitHub Releases page and double-clicked. The author advises running it as Administrator for the best results, since some files in the Windows Temp folder are owned by the system and need elevated permissions to remove. The README is sparse beyond that. It does not mention a licence, supported Windows versions, dependencies, tests, or contribution guidelines. The repository is credited to Suganth S.
