IETldCache\Low, and PrivacIE


Twood

Recommended Posts

Am using IE8 on a pc running Windows 7, 64 bits. After cleaning with CCleaner, I noticed the following files were not deleted and still contained information of no use for any ordinary surfer.

 

c:\users\ username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\IETldfCache\Low\index.dat

 

c:\users\ username\PrivacIE\index.dat

 

Am I missing something in the settings, or CCleaner does not clean those files? I added the second one in the section ''Advance'' and it worked. It does not work for the first one listed. Any suggestion?

CC does delete some, as I've just removed one with it. I think it was in Cached Feeds. I too have added PrivacIE\*.* to my includes, as it seems to grow whether you use IE explicitly or not. Whilst I don't expect CC to remove all the Index.dat files from my pc, what it does do is rather vague.

Thanks. I noticed that the ''IETldCache'' contains informations on sites you visited. I think it would be interesting to have it cleaned for security and privacy purpose.
