I recently uninstalled CCleaner because it was deleting my Firefox add-ons settings and driving me nuts. Windows has built in disk cleanup but it takes a long time to run. If you're really short on space, you can tell windows disk clean up to delete system files as well.
It's a shame because CCleaner is very useful. I recently came across a computer with a hard drive nearly 90% full. I ran CCleaner and it got rid of years of windows update files and the disk ended up only about 20% full.
You could put a shortcut to your temp folder on your desktop and open it up and delete all the files once a day. %temp% is all you need to have for the shortcut location.
Some files might not be able to be deleted due to programs running, and that's ok.
Also, set your browsers to delete cache when closed. It's personal preference to delete browsing history and other things, but you'll want to keep your cookies to save time logging into some sites.
@PossiI don't know if you have the correct perspective on this situation. I would love to have 3 Million clients returns in backlog who could not go to another business to get their tax work done. I think the IRS must have hired some Ivy League MBA to create their business plan. It is brilliant.

Just imagine if someone from your office gets COVID and you are forced to shutdown your entire office and clients have no sympathy and want there information done now.
Plus complete job security - you can't even be fired for being a totally incompetent loser (although most are OK, some are good, some are VERY good, and some are tolerable). Great pension and health benefits. Yeah, everyone in the country hates your guts (details, details) - but they don't know it's YOU, either!
The IRS has been understaffed and underfunded since 2011. This situation is like slow moving avalanche moving downhill. It will not be fixed anytime soon.
No other company in the UNIVERSE would have that kind of backlog. Why does the government accept this kind of inept operation to continue?
It blows my mind.
I work for myself and would fire me if I was that bad.
