I have XP Professional on a Dell Optiplex 260.

Disk Cleanup will not run so, I searched Knowledge Base
and found the Article that suggested that I clean out the
temp folder. However, there are two files located in the
folder that I cannot delete.

Any suggestions.
 
Try the following web sites for troubleshooting suggestions:

Visit http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp tweaks.htm and scroll
down to Line #48. In the right-hand window, click on
"Disk Cleanup - Compress Old Files Freezes"

Simply click on Kelly's fix, download the registry fix, then run it.
(Note: Disable your antivirus program before running the repair script)

What are those two files?

So files cannot be deleted since they are used by applications running maybe
on background.
