If this doesn’t catch it, grab a copy of the free tool at. In your case, I recommend that you make sure that your anti-malware software is up-to-date and running, then scan your machine. But when it’s known malware…Īs for my concern, one of those files, “My Babylon TB”, actually shares the name of a toolbar program that is known malware. The best technique for cleaning out temp files then is to delete everything around these files and keep the ones that display an error message.

An “Access denied” message can appear because those files are being used by Windows. That’s important to know when you try to delete those temp files. In short, if your computer is on, programs are running. Windows itself is a combination of several programs and they run from the moment you power on your computer. Programs are always running on your machine. Sometimes, it happens, but based on the information that you’ve given me, I’m a little concerned that something else might be going on here. An “Access denied” error usually means that the file that you’re trying to delete is currently open and in use by some other program. Deleting files from your Temp folder is a good thing to do periodically.
