A computer processor or program cannot have too much of main memory for its computations and intermediate storage of data during its lifetime.  Memory is shared by many processes.  So the process opens some temporary files on the disk and write important data that will be used later on. 

Once the processing is over, the results are saved properly in proper files or the temporary files are just renamed.  The temporary files are usually hidden or have special characters that inform us that they are temporary.

The idea is that if the computer shuts down in the middle or process crashes, some recovery can be done using temporary files. When a sequence of computations and read-writes are to be done consistently, it is better to have temporary files. If something goes wrong in the middle, the temporary file is discarded and again a new file is opened.

Temperory file

when we are using computer or laptop then we need to do work live. But processor don't do the work. So, the files which we have downloaded while browsing. The computer stores our temperory data and files and that files which computer stores are stored in C:/windows/temp.

Here is how you can delete temp files:

%temp%

The operating system of a computer may periodically collect all the free memory space to form contiguous block of free space This is called as %temp%

Windows and other OS like Mac and Linux stores our temporary data and by default it is saved in C:/Windows/temp.

You can also remove that temperory data with the help of Win+R and type there as a %temp% (attachment 1st).

After that, it will open your all temperory files. Now, It will be about 1 to 1.5 GB. select all files and Shift+delete.  

Windows automatically delete temperory files after having size of more than 2.4 GB.

You can see 1st, 2nd and 3rd attachment. By which you can know about temp in windows operating system.

For mac you should use command+R for opening Run. Same process is applied is every OS.
