146500 2003-05-22 09:41:00 In an article, PC World July 2001 a reader accesses windows\temporary internet Files\Content.IE5 & found every email & attachment he had recieved. I have followed his example & found in Content IE5 16 folders with weird names containing files that add up to 78.1MB, is it safe to delete all of these files, as the articule suggests Taggas (3455)
146501 2003-05-22 09:47:00 Yes. Everything in Temporary Internet Files can be deleted!
Just be aware that internet may seem a little slower as pages will take a little longer to load after deletion as they have to re-download images and everything. This will not be a dramatic slow-down though, more like an extra 2-5 seconds per page until the images and scripts of sites you regularly visit once more get cached

146503 2003-05-23 04:35:00 Taggas - you got off lightly - I found (only by running Spysweeper) approx. 650M of obsolete files.
Now I have no problems with the HD running out of space as well
