Guest yaro137@googlemail.com Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 I noticed that I have a few Gb of data in Temp Int Files folder (winXPpro). I tried removing all the files but it just doesn't work. They all dissapeared from the folder after deleting but when I check the properties of the folder there is still a few Gb of something which I can't see although in Folder Options I marked the 'show hidden files' nad 'show system files' checkboxes. Also I tried deleting whatever is there from Internet Explorer but with no effect. Yaro
Guest Don Varnau Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Re: Large temporary internet files folder Hi, Another program may have a lock on the TIF folder. Try clearing the Temporary Internet Files after starting up in Safe Mode. 315222 - A description of the Safe Mode Boot options in Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=315222 More info: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/deltifonexit.htm [Assuming IE6] Also be sure to check the "Delete offline content box" when that dialog pops up. The leftover content may be the index.dat file. Try CCleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com/ Check the index.dat box. Also, it's generally recommended that the TIF folder be kept below about 100 MB.
