Large temporary internet files folder

[Guest yaro137@googlemail.com]

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.

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.

 

Hope this helps,

Don

Yaro,

 

In Internet Explorer

TOOLS | INTERNET OPTIONS | ADVANCED tab

Scroll down to near the bottom & you will see EMPTY TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES

WHEN BROWSER IS CLOSED

Tick it, click APPLY then click OK

 

The above should help you keep the size down
