Fred McCormick Tech: Temp Internet Files (11) Tech: Temp Internet Files 02 Jun 11


Somewhere in the bowels of Windows 7 there is a folder called Content.IE5. I found it by accident when I was downloading a file, and it led me to a sub-folder which displayed the following path.

C:/Users/User/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary Internet Files/Content.IE5 .

In Content.IE5 I found something in the region of ten thousand temporary Internet files. I cleaned them out and my hitherto sluggish computer suddenly took on a new lease of life.

Now, I regularly clean out my browsing history via the option on Control Panel-Network and Internet and this gets rid of various bits of junk, supposedly including temp Internet files. Obviously it wasn't.

The problem is that I can't trace this folder through the path above. I can get to C:/Users/User with no bother, but from there I can't find a folder called AppData, either in User or in any of the User sub-folders.

Could any kind soul tell me what the 'enry Meville I'm doing wrong?

Many thanks.
