How to Delete Temporary Files on PC

Temporary files are created by applications to aid their execution speed. These need to be deleted when these apps finish executing these tasks. However, this is not the case because one has to delete these files manually. The small files created by these applications can sometimes pail up to large storage using the device RAM causing lag when processing other applications.
