OT: Temporary Internet Files
So, I'm looking around my C: drive, trying to clear out unneeded files. I come across C:\Documents and Settings\Dave\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files and it's got, like, 1.4 GB of stuff in it! Dat ain't right! I delete a bunch of stuff. Then there appear to only remain about 200 files, most at 1 KB, with a few getting as big as 30 KB or so. I'm bummed because I can't see data on number of selected files and file size totals in the info bar at the bottom of Windows Explorer, like for other folders. Then I right-click on the parent folder (\Temporary Internet Files) and select Properties to see how much space I've cleared. Hardly any! There's still around 1.4 GB of data, and it indicates over 7000 files and 25 folders! All I can see is about 200 files, as I said.
What's up with this? I've got all the options I can find (Tools/Folder Options/View) set to show all hidden files, etc. Dang.
Interestingly, when I click on the next parent folder up (/Local Settings) the right pane shows the /Temporary Internet Files folder icon is lighter than the rest. Same with /Application Data. Is there some way to undo this double-secret-probation setting for these folders if I want to?
