Delete Stubborn Temp Files...??

Hello all --

During my routine cleaning of my drive I noticed:

C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temp\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

There are a number of folders under Content.IE5 and what looks like images, graphics, etc. from the net. Some I can delete, but some I can highlight, click delete, and nothing happens. On other files in the these folders, I go to delete and the error 'cannot delete, can't find the specified file' pops up -- uh, the file is right there, why can't it delete? :rolleyes:

I tried through a DOS shell and when I go to the Content.IE5 folder, it says no directory exists. /boggle

Are there any programs or anything I can do to forcibly remove these files?

Thanks.
 
they are your temp internet files, just delete them with the Internet Options from Tools menu in MSIE
 
this program should help you, it works very well. just be careful what you delete.

ccleaner

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
