Default 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

Yes. Just a legacy of the IE5 construct still in use in IE6.

Leave it alone !

To empty the IE cache (which that folder represents)...
Start -- settings -- control panel -- Internet options -- delete files

Cache size suggestion: Only 10MB !

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\.)

The first. The second does not exist in the C:\WINDOWS\Temporary
Internet Files folder. -emf

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.

Correction: In the Windows Explorer I see that there is also the second
file; starting from My Computer C:\ etc. you cannot see it; this one
contains only 2 files. In that case, are *both* Content.IE5 necessary?
The referenced documents seem to refer to the second, though the 4
files with the peculiar names are in the first... -emf

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.
