deleteing temp files

Hy,im running win xp pro.im trying to delete all my temp internet items listed in:C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

but when i copy all and try and delete those items it doesnt do anything.you cant delete the folder but is their away to empty these contents out of this folder??even if i go one by one it doesnt do anything.also the folder is read only but you cant change that either.thanks for any help.

 

Delete temp internet files using your browser. Tools~internet options and click the button to delete them. After that you might want to use the settings button and lower the amount of space your PC devotes to those files. I use 1Mb (lowest possible) and don't have any problems.

 

Hello RedDog,

To empty the TIF folder when the browser is closed:

IE tools > options > advanced tab and scoll down to "Empty Temporary Internet Files Folder when Browser is closed" and tick the box.

This will empty all those files that web pages put into that folder. Look at the folder while on-line. A lot of files. The setting will delete them at browser close. What will remain are the cookie shortcuts
