Avast is one of the most popular antivirus software programs on the market, with over 100 million users. One of the ways that Avast utilizes disk space is by scanning for and deleting temporary files.

One of the main reasons that Avast needs to delete these temporary files is because they can become large over time. When a user opens a file, the program needs to read the file into memory.

If the file is large, this can take a long time, and the program may need to create a temporary file to hold the data while it’s being read.

As the file is used more and more, the program will create more and more temporary files. If the user has a lot of temporary files, Avast will need to delete them to free up disk space.
