Bloated Content.IE5 folder

[t1grm]

Just trying to clear down some files from my disk as it's getting a bit full and found out I had about 2 gig of temp/internet type files - none of which were picked up by disk cleanup BTW

Anyway got rid of most of it but I still have about half a gig under:

Cocuments and Settings<username>Local SettingsTemporary Internet FilesContent.IE5

Did a search on the MS website and all it says is don't delete it, it's a system folder . It also says if I delete it, it will be recreated next time I boot up so do you reckon I sould just ignore them and zap it so it recreates (hopefully a bit more empty)?

P.S. I'm running Win 2K pro and IE6

Neil, I did try that but no effect I'm afraid.

Cheers for the link FunkyNige I'll give that a go.

Just use windows explorer to go to c:|Documents and Settings|[your username]|Local Settings|Temporary Internet Files Then add |content.ie5 to the end of it. It's a hidden directory! Then delete all the folders in there. Make sure IE and MS Messenger are closed when you do it. I've never had any side-effects Edited to add, the folders might not disapear straight away, sometimes you have to press F5 and the |'s should be backslashes! >> Edited by size13 on Wednesday 26th November 10:49

I have show hidden directories enabled and have tried deleting it through explorer and it got rid of most of it but still leaves one large directory there. I'll try downloading one of the suggested utils tonight and give it a go.
