Appdata is used to store software configuration files and temporary files, can be deleted, a very simple way to safely delete the entire AppData folder, that is, delete the account.

What is the file appdata:

There are usually only three folders under appdata, which are Local,LocalLow,Roaming. In fact, appdata is the application data in xp. There are your custom settings in various programs, including personalized settings without affecting other user files, temporary folders, quick start folders, etc. To put it simply, they are used to store software configuration files and temporary files, and there are many folders named after the software name or software company.

The purpose of the appdata file:

XXX\ local setting\ application data is some data generated when accessing the network. Including some personal habits of surfing the Internet and personal settings of some clients, etc. The Quick Launch folder is used to store shortcuts to the quick launch bar.

Can the appdata file be deleted:

In theory, it can be deleted, for example, if PhotoshopCS5 is installed, search Adobe in AppData, delete all files and folders found, and then start Photoshop, the deleted files will be regenerated, but the size will become smaller. Be careful when deleting files, because AppData also stores the configuration files for the user's account.

With the increase of the use time of the system and the increase of installation software, the space occupied by AppData will become larger and larger. There is a very simple way to safely delete the entire AppData folder, which is to delete the account! One advantage of changing user accounts is that you can "reset" the system and reduce junk files, but it also brings a lot of trouble. The system seems to have returned to the newly installed state, some software needs to be reactivated, and very few software need to be reinstalled.
