Installing Adobe Flash

I don't run Adobe Flash on my machine, but my mom insists that she needs it for her sites, but it wouldn't install on the computer. It would get to about 50% and say "Error: Application currently in use." Google didn't have much to help since it suggested shutting down the browser. I took a closer look in her computer and discovered that she had tens of thousands of files in her user temp folder. Tens of thousdands of .tmp files. The dates of the files were not in the past few weeks so I started deleting them and deleting all these files was so slow.

The upside is that once I deleted the files, Adobe Flash was able to install successfully.

Thanks Adobe. Thanks for providing a useful error message.
