I'm running Avira virus checker. It's taking hours. The problem seems to be windows\temp files. I'm unable to delete these files because they "need permission from TrustedInstaller"

  • Is it safe to delete all these temp files?
  • How to get around permissions?

Instead of trying to delete them manually, use the disk cleanup tool. You can run it by typing cleanmgr at the start screen.

Checking "Temporary Files" should clear the %TEMP% folder, but it will also list any other recoverable space on your disks.
