Deleting a Tempory Internet File


Recommended Posts

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, Wendy

Files like this are created by Windows for temporary storage.

You delete them, thus getting rid of whatever they contain, Windows immediately recreates them as empty files for ongoing use.
As you continue to work the files fill up again.

They are nothing to worry about, it's just Windows working normally.

Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning? See this link:
