I ran a disk cleanup in win 7 64 bit and it claims there is 8.83 GB of temporary files. Even on a 1TB drive that seemed a bit excessive but I don't like to just delete 9GB of data without knowing what it is so i thought i'd check it manually and only delete the stuff that hasn't been altered for a while.

Problem is, when I go to USER>APPDATA>LOCAL>TEMP there is a folder with only 3.41GB of data in it.

So, am I looking in the wrong place or is the cleanup utility giving me an amalgamation of several different temporary folder locations?
