How to I delete Temporary Internet Files in Windows?
Internet Explorer and other Web browsers create “Temporary Internet Files” to store user data, such as HTML and images from visited Web pages, cookies, and the user’s browsing history. These files can speed up Web browsing by storing data locally on your hard drive. When you visit a Web page you have already been to, the browser can access some of the information directly from your hard drive instead of having to send for it over the Internet again. However, Temporary Internet Files can also take up a lot of space on your hard drive. If you are trying to conserve hard drive space, you may want to clear the cache of files your Web browser has saved on your computer. You can delete Temporary Internet Files in Windows by selecting “Internet Options” from the Tools menu in Internet Explorer. The following window should appear: Click “Delete Files” to delete all Temporary Internet Files. To save even more space, check the “Delete all offline content” option in the next window that appears.
