• delete the folder temporary internet files Windows 7

  I got a new SSD drive and a suggestions was to move my internet temporary files and other files on a secondary hard drive while I have enough room on my new SSD

  I did it under Internet Options: general: the browser history: settings: move folder

  Unfortunately, I made a mistake, and the case ended up in the directory my music for a few days.

  I have since moved to the My second hard drive, but my problem is the temp of the internet directory folder in the My Music folder.  I can't remove it.  I'm trying to move the location of the My Music folder, but it won't let me not move because I do not have permission on this folder.

  I tried to give permission to the folder.  I am logged on as administrator but I don't have a chance.  I want to delete this folder.   Help, please.

• What is the meaning of 'temporary internet file' and how can I find particular cookie or file belongs to the particular website?

  Please answer

  Hello

  Thanks for the display of the query to the Microsoft Community. I will certainly help you to find the answer to your query.

  The folder Temporary Internet Files (or cache) is used by Windows Internet Explorer and MSN Explorer to store the contents of the Web page on the hard drive of the computer for a quick consultation. This cache permits Internet Explorer or MSN Explorer download only content that has changed since you last time a Web page, rather than download all content of every time that the page is displayed.

  You can also read the article and check if it helps. Here is another article on the temporary internet files.

  Hope that information was useful and let us know if you need help in the future about Windows. We will be happy to help you.

• I want to delete temporary internet files. Note that I did not clear the cache. It does not work! How can I delete temporary files? Why did you take this feature? VERY frustrating that you would do that!

  I'm looking for how to remove the temp int files and continue to flow upward with the nonsense of "empty the cache". This isn't what I searched. Clear the cache does NOT remove temporary files. Why do you want to take this feature here?

  Firefox uses or not delete temporary internet files which use IE and a few plugins. Firefox uses the Cache if you are using Firefox on Windows, Mac OSX, Linux or some other OS.

• Why can't I find all the sites that I have visited in my temporary internet files? It will display all the sites I visited. Now it doesn't and I can't open the strange things contained therein. I didn't remove the navigation or the private browsing.

  Ok... I want to see where were the other people on my computer.

  That would be the navigation history. Firefox > history-> show all history

  Firefox does not use temporary Internet files for anything except the Windows Media files.

• After that I deleted all temporary files and cookies from my temporary Internet files files always show. Why?

  I used to always go Documents Local Temporary Internet Files and delete everything, including cookies, and all would be deleted. But now I still at least 20 files always there, with which I can't delete?  I go on the internet and go to tools and Internet Options and delete from there, but still the same files are left there?  Why? I use Microsoft Security Essentials, and they say no virus or any problem what so ever, then why. I checked with an Anti Virus program but they don't always say no Virus.  Why are these files, and when I look at them, I know where they are, but know not why they stay on my computer. ???

  Hi JudyWilliamson,

  Some of the temporary internet files cannot be deleted because it will run in the background with the internet.

  You can leave these files because it will harm your computer.

  Hope the helps of information.

• I've attached a scan to an email, but it says "could not open the file C:\users\My Windows\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows |" Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\TQDLSO1A\etc, etc.

  I've attached a scan to an email, but it says "could not open the file C:\users\My Windows\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows |" Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\TQDLSO1A\etc, etc.

  I'm probably not explaining my problem fairly - well, I scanned something in - I used Nuance Paperport.  I have it attached to an email and sent to six people - including myself.  I always open the attached file to make sure that the computer has sent the right thing.  When I tried to open the attachment I got the message "cannot open the file - I have already sent you."  I think that Norton Security got rid of the file I need.  I think I will contact them.  I tried to contact Nuance - but alas, my warranty has expired, so no help there unless I want to pay for it.  If I can't have the problem solved through Norton, I will contact you again.  Thank you very much for taking the time to try to help me.  Have a great Thanksgiving action!

  ================================================
  Your explanation was nice... that was my answer that failed.

  I was hoping that you would simply copy the scan of your temporary
  Internet files folder and paste it on your desktop. Then you might
  evaluate what is the problem. I thought that trying to open
  with such a long way email could be a problem. And also... it's possible
  be a file association problem. And it could be a matter of file size.

  I understand that you care why the attachment to the email
  failure and I think you need to find what is the problem with the scan
  before fastening will be successful.

• How can I access temporary Internet files for the site that I have visited, it must be stored somewhere.

  Microsoft IE, I can access temporary Internet files through tools / Internet Options / browsing history, where I can find all the site, the pages and photos that I visited sorted by date or type or other.
  This feature I couldn't understand where in Firefox or if it is available or not.
  However, Firefox is amazing and I would like if you can provide this option

  In Firefox, it is called the cache, for more details of this kind of situation topic: cache in the address bar and press to enter.

  For security reasons, the files in the cache are given random file names, so it is hard to see the content. CacheViewer etension can be useful for you.

  CCleaner is very useful to get rid of temporary files, you can get it here: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner you can use it to clean your temporary files, but DO NOT use registry cleaning works, registry cleaning is mainly a useless effort that can cause more harm than good.

• Can't see hidden files to delete in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\William\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

  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.

  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
   http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902

  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?

  Hello

  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.
