Unable to delete temporary files in my lumia 1320 8.1

Yes. . . .

A binary answer is not valid for that question...

Note that storage check from Nokia is outdated and you shouldn't use it.

So did you go to temporary files in the files app and try to delete it?

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. . . .

What APP were you using to open the .zip file ? (MS Office ?)
You may be able to go there, to delete it.

In Storage Sense (or Files), check your downloads folder for this .zip file.
Once you find (& delete) it, check Storage Sense for TEMP files, then press DELETE, it'll (also) clear up files sorted to OTHER.

bro, if everything else fails, you'll need to do a hard reset (loss of data) or live with it.

I am able to delete that file from FILES app or by my PC but I am not able to clear my temporary files in storage sense. . . .

I find that storage sense is useless for clearing temp files. But Lumia storage does I no problem

then shutdown / restart the phone & check Storage Sense when you get back in ... you should be able to delete some TEMPORARY FILES

Hey switch, I've had good luck with Storage Sense (& NO luck w Lumia Storage check) - dunno what's different ?

I'm running Lumia CYAN w Dev Preview update 1 on a Lumia 1520.2 ...

Maybe what you said earlier about shutting the phone down would work...never thought of doing that after I cleaned the files. Thanks for the tip

Brother I am also a techie.
I can do whatever I want with any Windows OS (PC) and these are the primary Aid for any computer which we can try to fix any issue with any computer and I have done all those things like " restarting, cleaning, shutdown, storage cleaner, date change to remove temps, flight mode, time zone changing, use apps to remove/clean cache, soft reset, etc, etc ,etc . . .. "
And now please tell is there anything else that I can do to fix this issue. . . .

Hard reset , bro ...

That will be the last option and I don't want to use this. . . . .

Hard reset is the only option. I have that problem yesterday with 1gb Temp Files and 800 MB Others. I hard reset and it was gone but my battery life was bad, really bad so I soft reset and it's all good.
