Unable to delete temporary files in my lumia 1320 8.1

[Mandiiip]

Yesterday I was trying to open a .zip file on my phone that was around 510MB and when I click on that firstly it was opening then I got error by MS OFFICE that "there is not enough space to open this file" and now I have 510.22MB temporary files in my phone and I tried several times to delete them but it didn't make any deferance. And I also tried some cleaning applications and they are also not working. Please tell me what to do in my Lumia 1320 8.1 phone. . . .

use the files app to find the zip and delete it using the files app. It is the file manager released by Microsoft.

And get an micro sd card , you can now save apps to the sd since 8.1. 8GB on the phone will go away quickly.

It's not about SD CARD or PHONE MEMORY I want to clear my temporary files.

Temporary files increases as the number of apps, games increases, so if you have 510mb temporary files & it doesn't get deleted, I am sorry but that would be the minimum temporary files. Deletion of large sized apps/games could reduce some of temporary files. Try if it works

Try soft reset
Then open storage checker and clear the temp files

Volume down + power button for about 10-15 seconds.

Another suggestion is set the date forward by a couple years, then clear it again. Once it clears, set the date back to normal and your good to go.

Soft reset is the same as restarting a PC.

Step 1 : Turn off all internet connection ( 3G , Wifi , .... )
Step 2 : change date and time to 100 - 200 years later
Step 3 : Use Storage cleaner to clean it up

Are you using Nokia storage check or storage sense from 8.1 to check up on the temporary files?
