Temp Internet Files for Internet Explorer

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Bug Reporting
1

Every time I run CCleaner Analyze it picks up ''Internet Explorer - Temporary Internet Files''.

I have not had Internet Explorer installed on my computer since I bought the computer as we uninstalled it almost immediately. Sometimes it scans upto 80 temp files and a few "Internet Explorer - Cookies".

Not great with computers so I'll put whatever I can:

Downloaded from Piriform

CCleaner Free

v5.04.5151 (64-bit)

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1

Intel Core i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 8.0GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti

Thank you in advance.

Internet explorer in deeply embedded in windows, various aspects of the operating system and many third party applications use it for rendering, thus it creates files even if you don't use it as a browser

Yes, I thought it might be something like that. Better to ask then to simply assume.

Thank you for the reply!

:D

Even if you "uninstall" it using some 3rd party tool some of the rendering engine is left behind, and complete removal of it makes Windows look really goofy and broken. You'd be surprised how many software titles require the IE rendering engine to function.
