Content.IE5 folder?

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Bug Reporting

Hello,

I have a question regarding my Temporary Internet Files.

I stopped using Internet Explorer because i prefer Chrome. I use CCleaner frequently. However when I use CCleaner it says it cleans from the folder

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\

What is the Content.IE5 folder? I know its hidden, but even though I have my settings to show hidden folders, I manually have to type in the file paths. Why is my system storing info here when I don't use internet explorer what so ever? I notice this file appears when-ever I open CCleaner.

I have ran a malwarebytes, avast, and adwcleaner scan and came back with nothing.

Thanks

a lot (maybe all) MS software dumps crap into that folder, Skype, Defender, Windows Live Mail, and the list continues.

It's part of the OS therefore even if you don't open the IE browser yourself its back-end is still getting used for things on the system. Whenever you open for instance a folder, etc., it can also cache in History.IE5. Just run CCleaner to keep those areas clean.
