Thank you again Hazelnut....... I have tried deleting from safe mode with the same results, but I haven't tried from another admin account. I will try that now and report back. Thank you again so much Ryc

Thank you also siliconman01.... I appreciate the help very much I have been successful deleting all of the temp internet files from her user account (her's is the only account)- this was just prior to attempting to remove this folders contents. The folder in question is a secondary temp internet files folder that is in the Windows/system32 directory. I believe the same is true for the Windows sysWOW directory, but I can't confirm that at the time.

Thank you for your reply Hazelnut!! Windows disk cleanup will not recognize (or include) this folder in it's search. I assume this is because it's typically a hidden folder. My attempt to manually remove the files was done by: opening the parent folder (Content.ie5), waiting for the computer to discover all of the files Select all files then delete selected items..........This resulted in explorer not responding....... then a hard lock I then tried to delete in batches of files with the same results. I continued with smaller and smaller batches until I found the trying to delete just one file would result in the same outcome. With some research, I found that these massive IE5 temp folders are related to IE10. I disabled IE10 hoping that would help (files not in use?).....it did not help.

Hi All, I'm new to Piriform and CCleaner. I'm very excited about finding this product. I have downloaded and installed CCleaner (latest trial version downloaded from Piriform) onto my Wife's laptop. I'm am not running Winapp2.ini. I ran an initial scan which completed in minutes- very happy about that. One folder in particular was not found or cleaned. The same one I have been unsuccessfully trying to clean manually for a few days prior to CClean. The file is: C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 This folder contains 26 gigs of temp files (1,655,026- total files). I have added this file to the custom files and folders scan list. I began the scan (analyze) @ 10a.m. central time yesterday (10/2/13)- The scan is still running today 25 hours later. The progress bar has been @ 41% the entire time but I can see each file being discovered one at a time. Is there a setting I missed in options to make this run faster? Should this type of time be expected with a folder this large? Do I stop the scan where it is, or continue to forge on? Any thoughts, suggestions, or education would be greatly appreciated........ :D Some specs: Acer Aspire V5 Win 8 4G Ram Core i3 2365m intel HD3000 graphics
