Residual files

What exactly are residual files? I noticed it in avg cleaner, I don't want to check it until I know what it is.

Hi Blake,

We will clarify this for you.
Junk files are temporary files such as cache; residual files, temporary files, etc. are created by running programs or during installation of apps.
These file are created for temporary use and are left behind after the process completes.
To know more about AVG Cleaner Android app, refer this FAQ.
Thank you.
