    I don't know should I ask this question here, but pardon me for my irrelevancy.
    I use Ubuntu in my desktop. From one month I am seeing that this is very slow and many time i have to shut down my system. I want to ask if there any thing there like Temp Folder as in Windows. If yes, how to delete extra files and folders from it.

    Perhaps it will need some software to clean up your Ubuntu system. Otherwise I am unable to search any temp folder. I also use ubuntu, and when the problem becomes unbearable I re-install it.

    The geek's/linux user's best friend is Google, then forums.
    Type "ubuntu cleaning" in Google and you get many results.
    You ain't first, not last.

    Cheers

    check what are the tasks running in the system using the command "top". You can find out which process taking more load etc

    its in your home user folder. usually its in home/user or your name of course.. under your home you'll find your documents folder, music, pictures, videos and etc..

    if its slow then of course ubuntu needs high end computer specs unlike some derivatives. if you really want ubuntu then try its xubuntu derivative since it only requires minimum of system requirements that about 256 of RAM.

    or also try thier peppermint OS its one of the derivative of ubuntu. its what i'm using in this old desktop of mine.

    to delete those files you need to be root and execute this in the terminal

    #rm <file>
    for folder
    #rm -rf <folder>
