Temporary Internet Files Folder??

Just noticed that after I have deleted all internet files from LOCAL Settings\Temporary Internet Files, I did a right click on the folder icon and selected 'Properties' to see that it still had 13 folders and 5,740 files still inside, but when I go inside the folder there is nothing there. I have my settings on 'show all files' but for some reason I can see these folders and files.

Is there a way to access them and possibly clean them up???

Cheers

 

Maco88--Reboot. Is that folder still "full "? If not, I suspect you do not have to worry about the files that I understand you wanted to delete, anyway.

 

Yes, I delete all the files, then even after a re-boot, I right click and select 'Properties" and it tells me there are (exampe) 3,672 file occupying 51,200,946 bytes etc etc, even though the
"Temporary Internet Files" folder is empty when I open it.

There must be a way to access these invisible folders and file, or is there a reason I am not able to view them?

Cheers

 

I suppose that the simplest (though still unsatisfactory) answer to why you can't view them is that Billy G doesn't want you to.

You can, however, get rid of most of them ... open the Tools > Internet Options menu in IE and, on the General tab, click the Delete Files... button and OK your way out.

HTH.
