Kunal, You may have yo go into Folder Options>View tab and select "Show hidden files and folders" amd uncheck "Hide protectected operating system files (recommended)", click Apply/OK. Then do a file search for them.

Try Getting (FREE) CCleaner.....

install & run. Get "SLIM VERSION" build from other builds (No Toolbars).
It'll clean ALL old temp files if you uncheck the box for "only delete temp files older than....". You may re-check this IF desired (I keep mine permanently unchecked..why give spyware/malware a place to hide?).
On my older version under "Advanced" there's check box for delete old pre-fetch data (prf files).

The other 2 free programs (MBAM & SAS) are very wothwhile to have also. Enjoy!!
