Temporary Internet Files

Specifically for Windblows 98 SE.

I always delete the temp files, cookies and temp internet files and then empty the Recycle Bin before running Spybots Search&Destroy, Ad-Aware and virus scan. But I notice that these programs will wade through a ton of temp internet files anyway. Search the folders and the files are empty. One day I right clicked Temp I-net folder and it said I had over 1 gig in it. Funny, nothing was showing on the inside. Yes, I view hidden files. So MicroShaft has a double secret hidden file system. Just how to reveal and delete them was the question.

Answer: Start-Find Files or Folders-Temporary Internet Folders\Content\IE

Once found I had to highlight and delete each folder manually. Took some time but I recovered over a Gig of space on my C drive.

This is slightly off topic, but very useful if you'd like to check your hard drive for space (and what's eating it :D ).

Any spyware on it?

I run AdAware about 4 times a week. Virus scanning every morning. These are update often. For some unknown reason my temp I-net files go to a secret folder that is a pain in the ass to delete.

As for 98 SE, Microshaft aint getting any more $$ from me until I buy a new rig.

Not that I'm aware of, no.
