If you have Kaspersky Antivirus
or Internet Security installed on your PC, then you will notice loss of
disk space. This space is mostly acquired by the temporary files that
are stored by Kaspersky. I freed about 1.3 GB of space
from my PC by removing these temporary files, which were around 200+ each
having a size of 5MB (Approx).
You can also free up your disk
space, by following the simple steps below:
1. Open Kaspersky Settings >
Options and disable the Self -Defense option.
2. Now Exit your Kaspersky
product ( KAV or KIS ).
3. Enable “Show Hidden files and
folders” option from the folder options.
4. Go to C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\Application Data\Kaspersky Lab\AVP8
5. Open the “Data” folder
where you will find many files named as av1A.tmp, av2A.tmp, etc. and
other files and folder.
Properly select all the files having
a .tmp extension and leave all other folders and files. Then delete all
the temporary files ie. .tmp files. Make sure you don’t delete any other
file. You will now notice a high reduction in your disk space.
6. Now Start Kaspersky and turn
ON Self–Defense.
>> It is completely safe to remove these files as they
are temporary files which have been used earlier by Kaspersky. I have tried it
myself on my PC, So Don’t Worry
Update – Windows 7 & Vista users need to open this path:
C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP9\Bases\Cache to find the .tmp files and delete
them.
