Disk clean-up utility won't delete all my temporary internet files! This has never happened before. I wonder if it's because I had to reset my computer last night, when something locked up my whole browser and desktop (except the mouse), and tried loading into my system.
I couldn't access anything... not the stop button, not the "X"(close) button, not the start menu... nothing. And this "loading" message comes up, and starts trying to load into my system. I have all my IE settings on HIGH, and only allow downloads on a case by case basis (like when I'm updating something). Now; all my temporary stuff from last night is still there, even after running disk clean-up.
Am I going to have to result to the DOS deltree broadsword here?
I can't even view these files, except in the browser of my photo editor (Novalabs Photo Explosion), and it only shows image files. Who knows what else is in there? Under "My Computer", I open the temporary internet folder, and it shows the sub-folder called "content", but opening this one shows absolutely nothing, and there are about 8 sub-folders in there! If I try to delete the temporary internet folder, I get a warning about it being a system item, and that my other programs may no longer work properly. This can't be entirely true however, as I have used the DOS deltree command to delete the whole thing before, and it just created a new one!
Is this a security issue (ie. spyware or such), or is it something else?
