The temporary Internet files folder
How can I clean a Temporary Internet Files folder properties shows a 21.5 MB content but nothing appears in the tree of files?
«.. . and says disk cleanup I could free 2 k of disk in dealing with internet Temp files. yipeee... »
I agree, 2 k of cleanup seems not even the time it takes to run Disk Cleanup. Personally, I've never used the feature in private so I can't comment on that, maybe, someone experienced with it will post more information.
Maybe the free version of CCleaner utility can help with your files not found. I use it on all my machines and have seen it recommended countless times in this forum as well as others.
CCleaner
http://www.Piriform.com/CCleaner
CCleaner is very effective for not only erase the temporary Internet files, but also other temporary files, caches and other accumulated junk.
If you decide to try, by default most everything on Windows and tabs Applications are checked to be cleaned. You must first carefully consider this list (it's compiled by what you have installed) and check/uncheck accordingly.
Then, click analyze to see what will be removed (nothing is deleted when you click Analyze); When the scan is finished you can double-click on (or right-click and select view detailed results) none of the entries in the list to get more information.
In the detailed view of the results, you can right click on options such as Add to exclusion list if you want the deleted item.
Once you are completely comfortable with your selections you can click the Run Cleaner button, and then click OK to the warning before running the vacuum cleaner.
CCleaner also has a registry cleaner, which I do not recommend the use - unless you are a very experienced user and understand the possible consequences and take the necessary precautions. Registry cleaners, either free or commercial, IMO expose a user to a very high risk of creating serious problems and, eventually, a system that won't start.
The Tools section has also two useful functions, Startup and System Restore.
The start feature is very useful in managing what programs start when Windows starts (although I personally prefer Windows Sysinternals Autoruns for Windows). However, no matter which boot manager you can use, it is always better to consider Options a program, preferences, settings, etc., to prevent them from starting at boot time before resorting to a Boot Manager.
Autoruns for Windows

CCleaner System Restore feature is excellent to remove older restoration that you no longer want to keep or need points. Sometimes this can free up a lot of disk space. However, it is not recommended to delete all THE restore points that you don't want in the future.
Since you're under Windows XP SP3, there is one last point I want to mention if you try to recover hard disk space, it is the removal of the Programs uninstall of patches. This can sometimes release a significant amount of disk space. When Windows is selected in the cleaner section with the tab, you will see down under Advanced patches uninstallers.
These files contain the uninstall information for each update of Microsoft that install. This means that you will not be able to uninstall the updates if you delete these folders. You can leave here unless you have need of available disk space. If your system is stable, and if you intend to uninstall an update is no longer, so go ahead and remove the $NtUninstall... corresponding records. Or you can move these files to another hard drive or burn them to CD before you delete the hard drive.
The above is an excerpt from the next page, and it is recommended that these files be saved on an external before deleting as shown in the snippet above.
What are the $NTUninstall files? Can they be deleted?

Find my temporary folder - NOT the Temporary Internet Files folder
Where can I find the temporary files folder? I'm not looking for the Temporary Internet Files folder but the temporary file folder. I recently downloaded a digital purchase from a Web site on my computer. Normally, I can right click and select Save target as and select the folder where I want to save it. But, for some reason any this site does not allow me to do this process. So I have to click on the download button and it starts to save the file in my folder for temporary files. I'll watch the Internet Temp folder - package not there. Then, I noticed there is a folder Temp basic - but for the life of me - I can't find? I tried to do a search advaced on my computer to find the file - it takes hours. I don't have the time to sit here and look for the file - do not to seem pretentious - but it is taking my business time. 1 can anyone tell me where to find the folder for temporary files? and 2. Anyone know how I can change when the files are automatically uploaded? I know you used to be able to do it via IE and tools. But I do not see this option. Any help will be appreciated!
The following article tells you where it is and how to clean it (if it's of any interest):http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/104637-temporary-files-temp-folder.html.
As far as downloads go, everyone I did always asked me if I want to run the file or save it, and if I select save it allows me to access the location of my choice. I've never had one who just downloaded without any warning to some place that he chose. The following article can help you by setting a default value or revise the value default or the fixing of the problem presented no option (even if it is by reference to another article):http://unlockforus.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-to-find-or-specify-download.html.
I hope this helps.

Cannot delete cookies in the Temporary Internet Files folder
I use Windows Vista and HP has this laptop screwed up so I can't navigate to certain folders. I have 10 cookies in my folder of temporary internet files that I can't remove. Even if I go to the cmd prompt as administrator it doesn't let me access the folder. In fact when I go to cmd it opens by default in the directory main I need it, but when I type dir\ that it lists only a few so I type dir/a to see them all, but even after that now it doesn't let me in next dir saying the system cannot find the path. What can I do?

There is no other choice to extract the file from the computer.
However, you can use your favorite search engine and look for any third party software that can help you recover the file.
Note: Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be resolved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

Attempt to delete data of mystery in my Temporary Internet Files folder
Hello! I try to get disk space and try to clear my Temporary Internet Files folder. When I delete it, it shows that I have only a few (3-4 k of total data) cookies in there, which is good. However, when I click on 'Properties' for the entire folder, it shows that I have 4.4 GB of data in this folder. I open the folder and don't see it anywhere. I click on select all and delete, and the data is still there.
I managed to see some of what is here when I compress me the folder (which has since been unpacked). It's pretty much just a bunch of old files flash, Web sites randomly. How I can see them when I look at the file and how can I get rid of these? I unchecked the box "Show hidden files", but that does nothing.
Thanks for the help!
Use the free CCleaner utility. Only use the cleaning of this program; Let the cleaner only register because it is unnecessary and can damage your computer.

While making a sweep of the AV, I see the files under analysis I want to remove it from my computer. All I can remember for the location of the files is C:\Documents and Settings of the user... I guess that the question is what will be called as temporary Internet files (under Windows 95). What should I do to access the folder where the files are stored?
Tools / folder options. Discover tab show hidden and protected system files
Use ccleaner do... Install, then run it.

C:\Documents and Settings\William\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files folder there are more than 135,000 files; nearly 2,000 cases and close to 3 GB of data. These files do not display and I can't remove them by deleting temporary Internet files. When I try to see the files to help to locate hidden files, only three very small files appear. How can I delete these files? Can I delete the folder and create a new one?
William
You can also enter your options Internet Explorer (via Control Panel), on the general tab, in the browsing history, there should be a settings button, once there, you should be able to select Show files in the temporary Internet files section. Who will open the file for you and you can do CTRL + A (select all), and then delete.
Some of the files in the folder may be used, and if they are in use, you will not be able to remove them. You will need to know what is their use, cannot be used, then delete them.
