Content.IE5
Though I have IE6, there is this folder:
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 Is it a left-over from IE5? Can it be safely deleted? If yes, what about the folder that contains it (and nothing else)? Thanks, Eustace |

Is that really the path to that folder?
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 Or is it: C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 (notice the lack of TEMP\.) -- Gary S.

You have the following directory?
C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files I suspect that other one you asked about, the one in the TEMP folder, is garbage. Personally, I'd go ahead and delete it and see what happens. -- Gary S.

Go to Internet Options and click on "Settings" button at mid-right. What
does it say "Current Location" is? Any folders named "Temporary Internet Files" that isn't that "Current Location" folder should be deleted. -- Gary S.
