Deleting a Tempory Internet File

[Gary Guertin]

I have Cleaner Pro.  I ran analysis and run cleaner several times and each time a file "Internet Explorer - temporary internet file - 5,121 KB 1 files" comes up again and again.  When I run cleaner, after it shows as deleted that file and "Internet Explorer - Cookies - 1K - 1 files".  I again run analysis and it shows only "Internet Explorer - temporary internet file - 5,121 KB 1", then it shows as "details of files deleted: "Internet Explorer - temporary internet file - 5,121 KB 1" and "Internet Explorer - Cookies - 1K - 1 files". Can someone tell me how to get rid of that temporary internet file, it smells like malware?  Thank You, Gary

If you're on Windows 10 almost immediately after cleaning it will re-download whatever it needs to display, such as items in the Start Menu (news, weather), etc., which are fetched from the Internet.

The size of the file is a clue that it's an empty file that has been automatically created to later store data as you work or browse.

Look for the numbers- 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024  these are all standard multiples of bytesizes that are common for automatically created files such as these.

Although once you get to 1024 it will usually display as 1K as in your other example above.

In Binary (Octal, Hexidecamal?) terms, 1KB = 1024 bytes.

(Some people don't like this and say that 1K should equal exactly 1000, but that's not how computers work. Computers use multiples of two not multiples of ten).
