    I keep running disk clean up and it keeps telling me my temp internet files keep getting bigger and bigger a few days ago it said I had 1.1 gb of files that needed to be cleaned now today its gone up to 1.4 gb.. I run disk clean up delete them run it aging for the heck of it and there still there.. But the file keeps getting bigger and bigger every day.. I even have premium CCleaner.. Any ideas what might be going on ?

    Check for malware.

    It is often better (more thorough) to run cleanup from Safe Mode.

    I ran both windows defender and malewearbytes. Both came up clean.

    I figured out what it was.. there was a glitch with internet explorer.. So I deleted IE in optional features rebooted and re added it and now all is good.. Now when I do disk clean up and reboot it drops down to 0..
